Is there any way to layer a control on top of another. I wanted to put one label on top of another to build out a word. I am using Xamarin Studio and programming for the iWatch, watchOS2.

Unlike UIKit, there is no z-index, or hierarchy, in WatchKit for views. As far as I know, the closest you can get to this is to use a WKInterfaceGroup with a custom background. The hard way, which may get you the result you are looking for, is to render an image and display it.

  • I was hoping to layer one text box upon another and have the same word be spelled out in both. The one in the foreground would be a brighter color and as the word was built (i.e. letters added) it would look like the word being built. I wanted to have the word be dynamic so that for each time I ran the program a new word or words could be selected. Sounds like that would be hard if I were building it dynamically. – lcj Jan 22 '17 at 20:19
