SendBackward Method

Description

Changes the display order of visible objects by moving the referenced object so that it is in back of the first object behind it.

Syntax

Visual Basic
Public Sub SendBackward()

Remarks

This command is useful when objects are hiding other objects that have a lower priority display but when you do not want to send the object all the way to the back of the priority list.

Example
