Answer 1

set zIndex of your element in this way

var zIndex = 
    ((Panel) element.Parent)
    .Children.Cast()
    .Max(child => Canvas.GetZIndex(child))
    ;

zIndex++;

Canvas.SetZIndex(element, zIndex);

• maybe you need to check if zIndex is equal to int.MaxValue then reset "ZIndex"s.
• but this almost never happens
