Popup menu

[Shay]

Hi

I have few buttons, when clicking on one
I wish to open new small menu above the current layout with few other buttons
but disable the way to click on the button below this new menu (that will not cover the all screen) until you press the botton in this new window

thanks

AFAIK if i will issue panel, that will not cover the full screen
the button below the panel (on the none covered area) can still be pressed
and I don't want to add more code to disable/enable these buttons
how can I set to ignore all but the panel buttons
(there is such a way in VB - how can it be done here?)

Add a Panel_Click sub. It will consume the click event.

The only way you can do what you want without covering the screen with your second panel is to disable the buttons that are visible on your other form. This is not Visual Basic, so it is wrong to assume that because you could do it in VB, you can do it in B4A. Remember that everything here is first converted to Java, so to a large extent, that enforces application behavior.

You could put a transparent Panel over the whole screen to consume any Clicks and put an opaque Panel on top of that. Crude, but saves a lot of enable/disable logic.

can you point me to the relevant thread

since I put panel click and i still can click on buttons below the panel

this is what I used

Dim Panel_Player as panel

if a=1 then
Panel_Player_Click
end if

Sub Panel_Player_Click
Panel_Player.Visible = True
End Sub

Does your new panel cover the whole screen?

 

[Shay]

no it does not cover the all screen

I'm assuming you following agrahams sugestion and have created an invisible panel the size of the screen.

If you called the panel panelBG then you just need two subs:

Sub panelBG_click

End Sub

and

Sub panelBG_longclick

End Sub

To consume the clicks to that panel.

Your popup should be added to the panelBG either in the designer or by code.

panelBG should be invisible to start with, the popup panel should not. When you want to display it uses panelBG.Visible = True. And panelBG.Visible = False to hide it.
