I found a work around many years ago.
The trick is to script the UI_INFEILD.
Then script the UI_PICTURE.
Then script the UI_INFEILD again with exactly the same values.

So here is an example form one of my window objects ...


UI_INFIELD "side_hgt_rake", 0,120,40,15
UI_INFIELD "side_hgt_above_beam", 20,55,35,15

UI_PICT "coastalview freeform dr-win.jpg", 0,10, 440, 216, 1

UI_INFIELD "side_hgt_rake", 0,120,40,15
UI_INFIELD "side_hgt_above_beam", 20,55,35,15

Something like this where all the infields overlap a background image.

If you only have the infields before the picture you wont see them but can edit them if you know where they are.
And if only after the picture you can see them but can't edit them.

Before and after allows you to edit them and see them.

Thanks a lot Barry!
That makes it clear. 🙂

It's a very nice (but sadly needed) "hack" btw.
