Solid Edge FrameworkSupport Type Library
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.
Example
Private Sub Form_Load()
    Dim objApp As SolidEdgeFrameWork.Application
    Dim objDoc As SolidEdgeDraft.DraftDocument
    Dim objSheet As SolidEdgeDraft.Sheet
    Dim objFCFs As SolidEdgeFrameworkSupport.FeatureControlFrames
    Dim objFCF As SolidEdgeFrameworkSupport.FeatureControlFrame
    ' Local variables to be declared here
    Dim lngZorder As Long
    ' Create/get the application with specific settings
    On Error Resume Next
    Set objApp = GetObject(, "SolidEdge.Application")
    If Err Then
        Err.Clear
        Set objApp = CreateObject("SolidEdge.Application")
        Set objDoc = objApp.Documents.Add("SolidEdge.DraftDocument")
        objApp.Visible = True
    Else
        Set objDoc = objApp.ActiveDocument
    End If
    On Error GoTo 0
    'Get the Active Sheet object
