Hi Kumar,

This forum is discuss and ask questions about the C# programming language, IDE, libraries, samples, and tools.  I suspect that you are working on winform project.

The following case is you asked before.

Does it answer your question? If not, you can unmark it, and repost this issue in Winform forum for better support.

Best regards,

Hi,

I am trying to drag LABEL control from toolbox, into PICTUREBOX control.
LABEL control are not draw on PICTUREBOX control.

A picturebox is intended to show pictures - jpg/png etc.

Not labels.

The label has no particular meaning to a picturebox.

So you can't give a picturebox a label to show.

You can drag a label above a picturebox and set it so it's on top.

In winforms, I don't think you can actually set z-order as a property but you can use the technique in the code sample I supplied in your previous post:

yourcontrol.BringToFront();

Also.

Setting allowdrop = true in the picturebox properties will have no effect whilst in the designer.

Hope that helps.

Hi Kumar,

>> I have a PICTUREBOX control with AllowDrop = true.

AllowDrop is not used for drag and drop control from ToolBox, it is used at runtime and you could drag and drop other files to picturebox. As the reply from Andy, you could not drop a label above a picturebox, did the suggestion from Andy work for you? Or, you could draw test as the reply from Fouad.

If you have any issues about this, please feel free to let us know.

Best Regards,

Edward
