Programmatically send to front/back elements created from interface builder


In interface builder, there are layouts options to send to back or send to front any elements such as UIButton, UIImage, UILabel etc...



Now, I would like to do the same at runtime, programmatically.



Is there an easy way to do that?



I do not want to create different views, just play with the z-axis.



Thank you.

  1. There are a number of methods of UIView that allow you to modify the view hierarchy.


    bringSubviewToFront:
    sendSubviewToBack:
    insertSubview:atIndex:
    insertSubview:aboveSubview:
    insertSubview:belowSubview:
    exchangeSubviewAtIndex:withSubviewAtIndex:


    Since your views are already inserted into your superview, you could easily call bringSubviewToFront: once for each view in whatever order you like.

  2. [self.view bringSubviewToFront:myButton];
