BringForward Method

Description

Changes the display order of the referenced object by moving it in front of the first object that obscures it.

Syntax

Visual Basic
Public Sub BringForward()

Remarks

This command is useful when other objects that are filled hide an object and the user wants to remove the object from hiding while not bringing the object to the top of the priority list.
