Vista Tutorial - Adorner Layer Z order on WPF

Does anybody know how to change the Z order of adorners in the AdornerLayer
of a Canvas? I can change the Z order of child UIElements but I cannot find a
way to change the z order of the adorners.

What about changing the order of the items in the array returned by
AdornerLayer.GetAdorners()?

Thanks for your replay Mark.

This is my problem:
I have a Canvas that has many UserControls. Each UserControl has an Adorner.
When the user controls are displayed, I can change the z-order of a
Usercontrol when the user clicks on it. The problem is that its Adorner
remains on the original z-order.
I tried to use your suggestion but it doesn’t work because I would need to
get the array of all the adorners in the Canvas.
This is what I did:
AdornerLayer myAdornerLayer = AdornerLayer.GetAdornerLayer(myCanvas);
myAdornerLayer.GetAdorners(myCanvas);
This returns null all the time which makes scene because Each user control
has its own adorner layer I guess. So the question would be how to change the
adorners z-order in relation to the parent container.

How are you adding the adorners?

AdornerLayer MyAdornerLayer = AdornerLayer.GetAdornerLayer(MyUserControl);
MyAdornerLayer.Add(MyAdorner);

MyCanvas.Children.Add(MyUserControl);

Mark,

It doesn't work. The adorner still goes to the UserControl's adornerLayer.
It seems to make sense because the adorner is adorning the UnserControl and
not the Canvas.

Even if this had worked, do you think that by changing the order in the
adorner collection would change also the z order of the adorner? Do you know
if this is documented somewhere?

Thanks,

Jimmy
