C ClassicDancer Member Licensed User Longtime User Oct 21, 2012 #1 Hi, I've created a floating window to edit a record from a database. Just wondered whether there is a way to disable the main activity window from getting focus and finger pressing. Or am I going about it the wrong way. I need a small window on top of the main activity window in order to update a record. Please help. Andy

C ClassicDancer Member Licensed User Longtime User Oct 22, 2012 #4 I assume you mean this is the answer? (Place a panel between the floating window and the other views, and create a OnTouch handler for this panel (even empty).) I'm not sure how to do this..... Can you explain please? Thanks Andy.

Click to expand... Placing a panel on screen and creating an empty Panel_Touch handler is very basical. So what's the thing you don't understand ? Upvote 0

C ClassicDancer Member Licensed User Longtime User Oct 23, 2012 #6 What sounds very basic to you obviously isn't basic to a new android programmer. I have a main activity window and within this activity I have setup a Floating window to update a database entry. When the floating window shows its self the background activity can still receive focus and events. In principle I understand what you are saying, however to implement it I am not sure how to cover the activity window with an empty panel etc.... Regards, Andy Upvote 0

With you, I'm completely lost. 1) Add this code between the creation of w(3) and w(4) in my demo #1 (line 122): Code: Copy Dim pnl As Panel pnl.Initialize("MyPanel") pnl.Color = Colors.ARGB(220, 128, 128, 128) MainPanel.AddView(pnl, 0, 0, 100%x, 100%y) 2) Add the event handler sub from the last post and you'll see that some windows are still accessible, others are not. The panel acts as a blocker. I colored it in gray to make it visible. Upvote 0
