All,
I have tried googling this, but I’m not sure that I can even come up with the right query, so I’ll post here. Is there an equivalent of the “z-index” used in CSS for wxPython?
I ask because I’d like a wxStaticBitmap to be forced to the top in all instances.
On Windows this works, since the layering appears to be done incorrectly, but on a Mac, the wxStaticBitmap seems to be relegated to the bottom, so I’d like to be able to force it to cover both cases.
Thanks.

no.
As a rule, wx was not designed to support overlapping wx.Windows.

you might try changing the creation order, but who knows?
But more reliable may be to draw the Bitmap with a DC, rather than
using a wx.StaticBitmap.
Though I'm not sure off the top of my head how to force it to render
after everything else. It's take some experimenting.

Depending on the platform and the wx and platform version, Raise() might work, but...

...this is the official stance of the wxWidgets team: the behavior of overlapping sibling windows is undefined.

Thanks for the responses everyone. Raise() did exactly what I needed.
