Is there some workaround or fix for the fact that when I click on some of the components in a custom DVL (data viewer list) layout, they don’t respond? I’m creating a pop-up menu like this: [image] The layout is a container containing from left to right: an image, a label, and a button. If I prev…

[image] tatiang: components in the group prevent clicks from “going through” to the group and therefore are not detected consistently. That is true if the group is behind the components. However, if you place a pseudo group on top of the components then it will be the one receiving the click. …

I’ve also tried cloning a group to create a pop-up menu and although I can determine which group (row in the menu) was clicked, it doesn’t work reliably for the same reason… components in the group prevent clicks from “going through” to the group and therefore are not detected consistently.

I thought of that as well. I guess I don’t know how to do that. I don’t see a way to layer groups. Do you have an example of that in DnD?

The trick is in the component tree the component that will receive the click is the higher component in the tree. Just make sure the label or the group is higher in the component tree from those component beneath it in the screen.

I was able to get it to work with stacked Groups. Thank you for that suggestion! I don’t know why I had such a problem figuring out how to do that before. I guess a good night’s sleep helped! :slight_smile: What I ended up doing is creating a group containing an image, label and button and then an …

I’d still like to be able to do the same with a DVL…

It should be the same with DVL but if you are using the StP editor then you need to use fixed position components and you need to access the advanced properties and set the z-index to a high number to be on top of other components in the row/column.

[image] tatiang: So I don’t see a way to layer Containers within a Layout. You’re right. This option is not available in the Layout component in DnD. I tried to add buttons on top of each other in the container but there is no property to do that. However, If you start with a Group outside o…

No, I’m using DnD. So I don’t see a way to layer Containers within a Layout. That is, I can’t see a way to drag one container on top of the other within the layout screen. I don’t mean the component tree.
