I'm working on porting my game engine over to BB10 and I noticed that if I recreate the application window, it goes behind the UI (I can see my game running if I restart the device for example). I tried changing the ZORDER and specifically making it VISIBLE, but so far nothing.

I'm guessing maybe the application window is automatically added to some group after creation, but I have no idea. :3

I've considered creating a dummy application window and using a child window as my app window to workaround this issue, but I would much rather stick with just a single window.

Anyway, ideas welcome!

is your UI in a child window?

I think destroying and recreating the parent (application) window is probably a bad thing, and navigator will probably get angry

I would suggest that you consider making all of your dynamic windows be children of the main application window.  You can even create that main window with 0 buffers if you want to save on memory, not have to deal with posting, etc.

Cheers,

Well I found a way to worked around the issue, I keep the app window, and I just reset most of the internals, that worked perfectly.
