painting on top of child controls

[Markus Herrmann]

Hi,

I have a custom control
is it somehow possible to paint my control, after the child controls have
been painted?
Or in other words: I want to paint something over the child controls, how
can i do that?

Overriding the OnPaint-method doesn't do the trick, the child controls are
painted after it is called.
(Who paints them and how? )

Or is there a way to prevent the child controls of beeing painted and let me
decide and initiate when they are painted?

Or can someone explain to me, ho exactly painting of a control and its child
controls works? What methods/functions are called and in what order?

I know thats a lot of questions. Thanks...
