EditTool - Stop graphics from moving to top when Selected

Drew — Fri, 07 Jun 2013 12:03:09 GMT

Does anyone know how I can disable the EditTool from bringing the graphics to the top when one is selected?
I want the graphics to stay in the same index they were drawn visually because I list them out in a List control.

Any thoughts?

-> My only solution so far is removing and re-adding the graphic back at its original index. This works, but get slow as graphics build up.

In version 3.5 (released today), we added a new property, EditTool.autoMoveGraphicToTop, that when true (the default) moves selected graphics to the top of the stack within the parent graphics layer. When set to false, it will do what you asked for 🙂

Thanks for adding this!
