Paint Order
OmniForm uses a specific paint order. For example, a table object itself
is painted first, then the cells inside the table, and then objects inside the
cell. This makes it possible to have three layers of paint. The last layer
painted in an object overrides all other layers. Because objects inside a
cell are painted last, they will cover up the cells and portions of the table.
If an object’s background or border is
Clear,
however, then that part of
the object is transparent and an object painted below can show through.
