Component layer "blocks" lower layers (from being clickable)

Posted on by BP-19081954-0

If I create a new component, with nothing in it, and place this component in my app, it blocks all the layers underneath it from being clickable.

It's almost like I have placed a rectangle there with fill: RGBA (0,0,0,0) i.e. it behaves the same way and blocks the mouse from selecting lower layers.

What can cause this behavior and how can I fix it?

Or do component layers simply block all the layers behind them by default?

Hi, you can right click reorder in the tree view to move the component layer below everything else on the screen, or you can make it's size 0px bx 0px and put it in a corner.

Just right click on it in the Screen and Send to back. Simple. What are you trying to achieve with this?

Kind regards,

Thanks for replies...

To answer the question what I was trying to achieve. I had it in my mind for some reason, that I could create an expanding/collapsing menu popout in a single visible component (i.e. hamburger menu expanding into a full menu & collapsing back).

I gather that I need two separate objects for this--1) a hamburger selection button and 2) a menu component, the visibility of which can be turned on/off completely.

I don't know why I thought components could behave like containers (that layers behind them could remain clickable)...
