Click-thru GUI

[codepoet]

I have a problem with the GUI for my mod. When I click on a button the click also interferes with whatever is behind the button. This is very annoying. How can I stop this. I imagine it might have something to do with event.current.use() but I am not sure I understand the event model well enough to know what to do with it.

Can someone please explain?

You need to use EditorLogic.fetch.Lock to lock the cursor from interacting with other stuff.

In Editor : https://github.com/MuMech/MechJeb2/blob/master/MechJeb2/MechJebCore.cs#L747-L761

In flight : https://github.com/MuMech/MechJeb2/blob/master/MechJeb2/MechJebCore.cs#L763-L776

Are you talking about clicking through a Unity GUI into the KSP UI, or clicking through different layers of Unity GUI?

The EditorLogic stuff works for clicking through to the KSP UI, though there can be some issues with that; in the spacecenter and tracking station it can make timewarp wonky when you try to lock the KSP UI.

I'm not sure if there's an easy way to lock out different layers of your own UI, other than just disabling them when one window overlaps another (turn a button into a label with the same GUIStyle as the button).

Also, is there a simple way to lock out things like right-click buttons? The only method I'm aware of is to go through each PartActionWindow and disable it: https://github.com/DMagic1/KSP_Contract_Window/blob/master/contractsWindow.cs#L169-L182

That looks like what I need. Thanks.

Just came across something as part of debugging my ClickThroughBlocker.

This code:

https://github.com/MuMech/MechJeb2/blob/29d9b1ba7e75a325476b9a4f5712d1970c09b840/MechJeb2/MechJebCore.cs#L1136-L1147

works in the Editor, EXCEPT when Action Groups are selected.  When Action Groups are selected, the mechjeb window doesn't block clicks from falling through to the parts underneath.

Would you have any ideas how to fix this?

I'll open an issue on Github, would really like to get this figured out

I guess the stock code do the Action Group does not check the lock state. It feels like a stock bug.
