MoveBefore Method (parent, nextSibling)

Pageflex Document Action API

Pageflex Document Action API MoveBefore Method (parent, nextSibling)

Moves this Element to a different place in the document tree.

Syntax

Visual Basic

Managed C++

public void MoveBefore (
	Element parent,
	Element nextSibling
)

Public Sub MoveBefore ( _
	parent As Element, _
	nextSibling As Element _
)

public:
void MoveBefore (
	Element^ parent, 
	Element^ nextSibling
)

Parameters

parent (Element): Element which will become this element's parent.
nextSibling (Element): Element which will become this element's next sibling.

Remarks

This element is removed from its current location in the document tree and inserted as a child of the parent element, just before the nextSibling element. If nextSibling is nullNothingnullptr, this element is inserted as the last child of the parent element.

Note: changing the order of sibling shapes does not change their draw order. See instead NextShapeToDraw.
