panel in front

[ustk]

@ulrik so why don't you place them in a parent?

[ulrik]

@ustk yes that could be done, I just wanted to know if it was possible without?

[ustk]

@ulrik no this isn't possible

[ulrik]

@ustk thanks!

@ulrik How does the ZLevel work exactly?

I have a few panels on a panel:

When I use:

	// move to front and allow keyboard input when clicked
	if (event.clicked)
	{
		this.setZLevel("Front");
		this.grabFocus();
	}

It will move a panel to the front, but only once.
Once I have clicked on all three panels I have here,
they just stay in that ZLevel order and never change subsequently:

I must be missing some aspect of the feature.

[Chazrox]

@VirtualVirgin .loseFocus?

[VirtualVirgin]

@Chazrox I may be wrong, but I think that is only for keyboard input.

[Chazrox]

@VirtualVirgin I was suggesting to try .loseFocus on the lower windows similar to how you would script radio buttons) to see if that does anything. If Im not mistaken its grabbing focus for mouse input too so its pretty much bringing it to attention to all inputs so maybe its a glitch if u dont release the focus on the un-needed windows Idk. Who knows. Just an idea.

Ok, so I found an issue with the ZLevel for panels.
It seems it does not function when the panel is set to:
"allowDragging" "Disabled".

I found this snippet from @ustk which demonstrates the basic ZLevel change for panels when clicked:

but if you set "allowDragging" to "Disabled", the the ZLevel no longer changes when clicked:

@VirtualVirgin Took all the code out and just set the settings for each panel as shown below.

Is this what you need? I could be misunderstanding your issue.

it seems like Z level is baked into dragging. If you needed to script functions you can write mouse callbacks for your panel data, but I think scripting the z level in this situation is causing a bug.

then again...

your snippet is working if you just turn on dragging .

Sorry. Im just trying to figure this out with you. lol

this also works.

Content.makeFrontInterface(600, 500);


const var pnls = 
[	Content.getComponent("Panel3"),
    Content.getComponent("Panel1"),
    Content.getComponent("Panel2")
];


for (p in pnls)
{
    p.setMouseCallback(function(e)
    {
        if (e.clicked)          
            {
            	this.set("allowDragging", true);	
            }
            else
            {
            	this.set("allowDragging", false);
            }
    });
}

[ulrik]

@VirtualVirgin a temporay solution would be to restrict the dragginBounds

for (p in pnls)
{
    p.set("allowDragging", true);
    p.setDraggingBounds([p.get("x"), p.get("y"), p.getWidth(), p.getHeight()]);
    
    p.setMouseCallback(function(e)
    {
        if (e.clicked)
            this.setZLevel("Front");
    });
}
