Difference from DrawLayer, DrawTier and DrawLevel?

It seems most addons use DrawLayer.

One problem I'm having is I set a TopLevelWindow (with child controls label and texture) to DrawLayer(0) but it still shows above some elements, such as the item listing in the Inventory panel. Is there a way to get it lower?

Via LUA:

Code:

	FastReport_HUD:SetDrawLevel(0)
	FastReport_HUD:SetDrawLayer(0)
	FastReport_HUD:SetDrawTier(0)

and allowBringToTop="false" on the TopLevelControl / Window @ XML worked for me.

It 's behind the Inventory and every other Native Frame so far as I've checked.

Thanks, I will try that.

And since I posted this question, I've sort of come to understand the three aforementioned methods. DrawLayer seems to have most precedence, then DrawTier, and DrawLevel seems like CSS' "z-index" equivalent for more granularity.
