> Hi, I’m trying to create a custom dropdown using overflow:visible. The dropdown is placed on my “top” docked window. In the designer everything is working as designed, but when I try it in the runtime session, the dropdown list is displayed behind my “main window”… any way to manipulate the z-order here? slight_smile Designer: runtime session:
