Panel: is it transparent to underlying views?

friends,

I put a few buttons on Activity, blanket them allover with a panel then put
new buttons on the panel, making their parent Panel1. but to my surprise,
when I clicked on an area on the panel, where a button is hiding behind in the
activity, that button's code is executed.
I thought Panels are containers and can not act on views' events
that don't belong to them.

Any help?
Thanks in advance.

You need to consume the panel click event otherwise it will go through to underlying views.
You can do this by simple creating a Panel_Touch sub. I am not sure whether or not you need to return True/False, but surely you can experiment with that.

I used to add the panel_touch, but in later versions, I think that simply a panel_click will consume the event. Works for me, but who knows of course

Hmm, how about some sample code? I think I tried adding a panel_click sub in my code, but it wasn't consumed.

This is an old thread !

What exactly did you do ?
Without seeing what you have done and how impossible to give you a concrete advice !

B4X:
sub panel_click
dim i as int=0
i=i+1
end sub

Yet easier:

B4X:
sub panel_click
Return
end sub

You can even simply use:
B4X:
Sub Panel1_Click

End Sub
On my device your code works as expected !
If you click on the button in an area where the button is covered by the panel nothing happens.
If you click on a visible area of the button, the Button1_Click event is, of cours, fired.
