z-index

Element depth property

In web CSS the z-index element is only available in a positioned element, but in Delphi this controls the rendering depth of an element regardless of layout context. (See Notes for more info)

Values

The Z index property accepts any expression or value that resolves to an integer.

Examples

p {
  z-index: 3;
}

Notes

  • In Delphi, every element is rendered with display entities which are rotated and positioned along a plane (the document view screen). The Z index value controls the depth distance from that view screen.

  • The Z index value is added to the render entity’s calculated depth value.
