How to Disable Mouse Interaction on Slider Without Changing Color?

[pelle]

Hello everyone,

I’ve created a custom meter using a Slider, linking the value change to the output level. However, I noticed that if I accidentally click and drag the mouse over the meter, it changes the value. Is there a way to prevent the user from modifying the Slider value with the mouse?

I tried disabling the “enabled” option in the Property Editor, but it causes a color change that I’d prefer to avoid. I’ve attached a demo video for reference.

Thanks in advance for your help!

@pelle Just place a panel in front of it. Set the color of the panel as transparent. That’s a fast workaround

Even I did this trick in my last project after complaining to the designer that he should stop sending me half transparent filmstrips, oops…
