Just in case this reqest was not recognized in my last posts, here it is again

Is this possible for the next release?

There's also already a function "InsertLayer()" but that only works with type BRUSH, ANIM and something else, but not with an already existing layer.

Also note that drawing functions like TextOut() can use "Standard draw tags ", which with "InsertPos" can be used to specify the layer insertion point.

thanks a lot! I have overseen that "little" detail I think that is exactly what i wanted. I could have saved a lot of time if i had seen it earlier

The available function "SwapLayer()" is not very useful for this task because it exchanges the position of two layers and that makes it difficult to bring a certain number of layers to front without permutating the order of these layers.

Yes, you're right. I'll implement these feature requests. It's not much work so it will definitely be ready in the next release.
