B4J Question Triggering Mouse_Entered and Mouse_Exited events on superimposed panes/images

[Cableguy]

Hi guys

I have a layout composed of several (5) superimposed panes.
Using the BackgroundImage property I set each with an image that has transparent background, and by doing so I get my desired final layout.
I am trying to get Mouse-Entered and Mouse_Exited events to fire on those superimposed panes, but I can only make it work on the foremost pane.

Any help or advise is welcome

Can you post a screenshot?

Maybe Node.PickOnBounds set to False will do what you need.

 

[Cableguy]

was about to try that, I'll let you know if it worked

[EDIT]

If PickOnBounds is set to False, the event ( I set using JavaObject) does never get triggered;
If PickOnBounds is set to True, all of the view is used, even the transparent portion, to trigger the events

I will try to recreate this in an as small as possible project and then post it here.

So, here is my stripped down, uggly coded, test project.

There are 5 panes, all with a transparent part. My objective is to detect the mouse hover (entered & exited) events on each panel, excluding the transparent portions.

easier said than done it seems….

I can sort of get it working, but where the chevrons have I guess transparent pixels in the image, I detect the top image then the bottom one as the mouse moves across the chevron images. (hope that makes sense)

Thanks @Daestrum ...

I had a crazy thought ( and also recalled having had this issue before) and changed from Pane to ImageView, and guess what?!

IT WORKS AS INTENDED!

no problem, was a bit of exercise for my brain lol.
