hi I have a “Lw” listview on the screen and I created the time to choose a number one drop down list (with a button and a listview) which determines the content of this “Lw” listview unless you make it invisible the drop down list is not displayed above I want to make the scrolling of the “Lw” list view impossible as long as the drop down list is displayed if we had horizontal listview … ---

Will be difficult to visualize the issue you are describing without sharing the code or the project link. ---

Are you looking for something like this? > [@List View popup](https://community.thunkable.com/t/list-view-popup/1601545/4): > > If you want the column that contains the list viewer to stay in the same position then in the Advanced properties select Positioning and select Absolute for Position option. Let me know or draw what you want to happen and may be I can change in the project to show how it happens. See my attempt ---

Without proper explanation and copy of the code / settings or project link it is impossible to know what you want. When you say > [@bibbi](#): > > this is what i get Do you mean, it worked? Or you mean it partially worked but not quite what I was expecting? Or you mean nothing is working? ---

Please pay attention to my creation difficulties in a few words I would like to continue to see the listview containing the letters but by deactivating it when I activate the listview containing the numbers the first solution was to deactivate it by making it disappear but it is not very design ---

Okay, so you want either the listview of letters OR the listview of numbers to appear? ---

The `List Viewer` that you want to appear and disappear needs to be in a column (if you are using StP UI) because the `List Viewer` does not have X and Y coordinates. If you are using DnD UI then you can place the `List Viewer` any where you like without the `Group` component. Hope this is clear. ---

i thought it was clearer but the listview contained in the pop up group is not displayed above why are coordinates important for placing one object on top of another? ---

Try this and let me know is this what you are trying to do as I’m not clear of what you are describing and there seems to be a problem of you sharing a link to a minimal project produces your issue. [https://x.thunkable.com/projectPage/61910c1b83576e0010c7fff3](https://x.thunkable.com/projectPage/61910c1b83576e0010c7fff3) If this is not what you are trying to do then create a new project with a single screen and produce what you tried and explain what it is not doing. ---

Your project has the list viewer and the group in this order ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/thunkable/original/3X/5/0/507ab3e2f81af08f8c0b349d417a69fcf2302c59.png) I changed them to this order ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/thunkable/original/3X/0/b/0b20ef005929b6c78c954abb648c2f3507f8f741.png) The component in the top of the list is shown over the component in the bottom of the list. If this is clear please mark this post **solved** so others with similar issue benefit from it.
