Panel will not "bring to front"

I have a GUI and I would like to (upon key-press) make a panel appear over the GUI. The only problem I am having is that I can't seem to make this panel be above static text.

 %keypress
 uistack(handles.mypanel,'top');
 set(handles.mypanel,'visible','on');

As I stated, this code works, and brings the panel above everything except static text. Does anyone know of a solution or workaround to make the panel truly be on top? Thanks.

The way I would go about this is by setting the textbox uicontrol's 'Parent' to be another uipanel. Then when you turn the new uipanel's visibility on, turn the other uipanel's visbility off.

That's how some of these work:

Of course, if the one textbox is the only thing you don't want to see, simply turn its visibility off.

Good enough. Thanks!
