why in this version is not possibile to Enable/Disable the layout or user elements?

Hello,

For a button, you can do this.

You can make Disable components by placing a transparent Column on top of them - set absolute positioning for it and possibly zIndex:

1. Add Column1 or Row1
2. Add control elements
3. Add Column2 (or other component) with width = 0 and height = 0.

When you want to disable interaction with the controls Column2.width and Column2.height is set equal to the size of Column1 (Row1).

You can also set the button height to 0

Hi there. Sorry that you have to follow some of the suggestions below but we are planning on adding this as a standard property on all visible components.
