invisible/dummy button trick ?

[protofuse]

hello,
I'd like to fold/unfold, I mean, hide/show, some containers containing a bunch of UI elements.
In order to make that, I'd like to use a button.

but when a button is hidden, it is also disable.

would there be a trick/tip for me here ??

best,

not sure to understand what you mean here, your button stay visible, so you put it outside the container..?

[protofuse]

yep of course
I need to have it invisible, but active (if I take the same concept in Max5)

And I tested, if my button is invisible, it isn't pushable (which could really make sense but could be not enough too)

so i suppose you can have a button of the same color than the background...?

[protofuse]

yes I can if I don't have a picture in the background or anything with a color gradient
it is the same thing with the text & transparent background

but yes, the workaround works in the case of solid color etc.
I probably have to find another trick to use it in another case.
