Cover Camera Control with Camera Icon

I have a camera control and a camera icon.

I would like to make the camera control Visible (false) and cover it with the camera icon so that folks see the icon as the indicator of where to push to take the photo.

The camera control works fine, however if I 'bring to the front' the camera control and cover it with the camera icon there is no picture functionality. So, the camera control is in front of the icon but configured that way the camera doesn't work.

Is there any way to make this work?

Camera control is not directly accessible via Select() like some other controls, I believe this is because it's OnSelect is just false the picture taking coding is hardcoded into the control itself.

A workaround is set the controls stream value to 100, and then make the onselect of your icon

Set(FeedTest,Camera1.Stream)

To test it put your camera with icon on top of it at top of app, and an image control at bottom with image set to FeedTest

As you click the icon you will see the image below continually change to the latest capture
