Scatterview Catches All Events

Published on the 10th of February 2010

Well this one had us going quite some time. Having problems with a Surface Scatterview or Tagvisualiser ‘catching’ all Contact down events? Solution is to check that the element has no background brush.

Like all elements, a Scatterview won’t let any Contact down events through when it has a Background brush. Sounds quite simple doens’t it? Well it can keep your head spinning when the brush has a opacity of 0.

If you get these problems with a Tagvisualiser, ditto. You should also make sure you place all other elements as a child within he visualiser. So...

Instead of:

<Canvas>
    <SurfaceButton />
</Canvas>
<TagVisualiser />

Do this:

<TagVisualiser>
<Canvas>
    <SurfaceButton />
</Canvas>
</TagVisualiser>
