Selection of gauges on top of each other

I like putting gauges on top of each other to save on screen real estate. Eg, I will put a small IAC position gauge on top of the large RPM gauge (but in the lower bottom "dead area").

Once its there though, I have difficulty in again selecting it. Currently I have to move the bigger one away so that I can select the smaller one.

Any easier way? Like cycling through each item lying under the cursor when clicked? OR starting on the top most item and going deeper with each click?

Yes, for one, even with the gauges stacked, if you click on a place where the gauge is not painting to, it attempts to let the next gauge down take the click. This isn't a 100% on some gauge styles if you are using transparent background colors though.

So in that case, you can use TAB to cycle through them. It is easier to open the properties dialog you are working with 1st though.

I just tried this and noticed shift tab isn't working anymore for reverse order and it is tabbing out to the buttons. I'll have to look at that, but it tabs one way anyway.
