Hello

I have question, I generate buttons, using the code bolow

Button but = null;
but = new Button (this,SWT.PUSH);
but.setText("Test="+a);
but.setBounds(new Rectangle(0, 0, 16, 16));
but.setLocation(10, 10);
but.setSize(100, 20);

but when I move this element over another example label, this button
is under the label, how to "bring to front" this button.

Not that I know much about SWT, but this snippet
tells me very little..

A quick Google for 'swt layout' suggests that SWT
uses the same basic mechanism as Swing and the
AWT to layout components, and that is 'layouts'.

I am guessing (for want of more code) that the code
is not using a layout to calculate the appropriate size
and position of components, and that is the fundamental
source of the problem.

The solution it to use a layout.
