Hi,
im currently working on a power apps app to help automate some work stuff but have run into a bit of a snag. its a tiny thing really but its going to endlessly bother me if i cant fix it. so here's the problem.
i have this list of items. the user can ether click one of the existing items to edit it. or they can make a new one with the "lag ny" button. all that logic works fine and i've use it loads. the problem is that the button that is actually visible behind the text is not the button that reacts to the users clicks. its a invisible button in front. why? because the visible button is blocked by the text boxes containing "BD-Alaris" and "Sjekkliste for alaris CC" ect. which stretch all the way to the end to fit the information needed (these items are just examples. the real ones will need that space).
why is this a problem? because it means the button that is actually visible to the user doesn't react to the mouse. at all. it doesn't change color when the user hovers or clicks on it. whats more annoying is that because the "Lag ny" button is actually a button with button text. and not a button with a text box ontop of it. it does react. so the difference between the buttons is really jaring. is there any way to make a static text box be "transparent"? so that the button below can react to mouse hovers and clicks while still having the text above being visible to the user?
keep in mind. I'm not asking for solutions to how i can interact with the line at all. as mentioned. i already have a solution with a completely transparent button that sits ontop of the text again. i want a solution where i can get the button that is actually visible to react to mouse hovers and clicks visually, the way a normal button with no text would. the logic here in not important. it works. its the visuals here that I'm asking about. the text itself doesnt need to change color btw. just the button.
also incase its important. the colors used by the whole app are not hard coded in each element like they are by default. they're stored in global variables that each element references. this is to ensure aesthetic uniformity though the app and to allow for a light and dark theme. so any workarounds would need to work with that. its also important that the entire button remains clickable.
many thanks 🙂
