Subject	[platform-swt-dev] GC for a Canvas, how to draw OVER children controls

Hi there,
 
I have succesfully implemented some code
where, if I drag and drop from a label in one canvas (cnv) to one in another
(cnv2), the parent canvas' (mainCanvas) PaintListener will draw a line
from one label to the other.
 
so cnv1 and cnv2 are descendants of mainCanvas.

 
The problem I have, is that mainCanvas' GC
draws the line behind the controls.
 
Is there a way to get the GC to draw the
line over the child controls??
 
Any help would be appreciated
 
Regards
 
Steve
