Android Question Custom View: if Base is a Panel, why doesn't it have an elevation property?

[Cableguy]

hi guys,

I'm creating a custom view, and decided to NOT add another panel on top of Base, which IS already a Panel…. BUT, Base does not have Elevation

So… why doesn't Base have an Elevation Property?

What is the type of Base? B4XView?

Dim p as Panel = Base
p.Elevation = 6dip

I know I can make it by code, but, being that, even in the designer, base is a panel, why doesn't it have an elevation prop, like the regular?
(I've added it as a custom prop for my use)

The base view in the designer is a bit special as it is considered an activity. Nothing bad will happen if you add another panel just for the elevation.
