Change Depth by Code

[trollg]

Hi, I m a newbie with ngui, and I am using the free edition to check if it fits my needs for a project I want to make, and if so, to buy it.
So far, I have made a drag & drop scenario using my custom scripts and widget buttons with the sci-fi atlas, and it works really cool. 
Its important for the dragged object, when dragged to be in front of everything else on screen. Maybe its a lame question but how do I do that? Can I change the depth value by code? The dragged objects are buttons consisting by a label and background. Changing the z value didn't work. Do I have to use 3d camera? Please give me the most optimized solution.

Thanks

UIWidget.depth if on the same panel, transform.position.z if not.

Free version of NGUI doesn't come with support. It's meant as a preview. It's also over a year old.
