I am working on an A7 lite-c project. I have a minimap VIEW that I would like to make drag-able and resize-able. (Anyone here ever play Minions of Mirth?). I haven't seen any sample code, and search didn't turn anything up that looked related.

So, my plan is to have a PANEL with the VIEW superimposed over it, and have buttons on the PANEL that I will use for resizing/dragging/closing/zooming .

Unfortunately, I can't get the VIEW to stay above the PANEL. I have set the VIEW's layer to a larger number than the PANEL's, but the PANEL is always covering the VIEW. I have tried making the VIEW a little bigger than the PANEL to test to make sure the VIEW is actually being displayed, and it is peeking out from behind the PANEL.

Am I making this too complicated? Does this sound like a good solution, or is there a better way? And, is there something besides the "layer" property that I need to fiddle with to make this work?

Thanks for any help you can offer.
