Overlap switch

I mean overlapping when working with touch screens to make overlapped objects

It just means that part or all of one object is on top of another. Sometimes for aesthetic reasons, like the picture here:

More often it's used to 'stack' multiple objects. For example, you could have 2 different numeric displays directly on top of each other, and display whichever one you want using visibility tags.

I think there are still some HMIs out there that don't allow overlapping objects.

Please take an example (a short PLC program) showing how to handle overlapped objects.
