Drawing Overlapping Controls
Z-order orders the controls only within their graphical layer, of which
there are three: the back layer containing the results of graphical methods;
the middle containing graphical objects; and the top containing
non-graphical controls.
Shapes go in the middle layer and pictureboxes in the top layer, so there's
no easy way to put a shape on top of a picture box.
