Modifying the z-order of a node

GoDiagram (6 and previous)
1

Hello,

I was wondering if there’s a better way to change a
GoNode’s z-order within a GoDocument than removing it from the document
and re-adding it. Since this would blow away all the links, etc., I’m
hesitant to go down this path.

Thanks for the great component!

You can just call GoLayer.Add with that node, which will just “move” the node to the other layer. This results in a GoDocument.Changed event with a hint that is GoLayer.ChangedObjectLayer.
If you Add an object to the layer it’s already in, it’s a no-op.

So, as a possible solution, I could have a “top level” layer that
always only holds one object: the object that I want to be displayed
first. Selecting any other object would kick the former occupant out of
that layer, and put the new one in… that’ll work. Thanks!

Take a look at how the Classier sample implements exactly what you propose.
