Click through a popup window

Ignition
1

Using Ignition 8.3 with a popup screen, any touch or click goes through the screen and will engage a button or whatever on the screen directly below it. Can this be stopped?

Evidently this happens on an Ipad but not on windows.

Which browser? I’m curious if this happens on the same browser version on different platforms. Also, does it function this way for all popups?

Investigate any CSS properties you may have configured to permit this (pointer-events, etc.).

You should be able to stop it by adding pointerEvents = none auto to the view’s root styles

Edit: fixed for posterity

Using the Perspective launcher, not a browser. I will try the pointerEvents.

Thanks

I added the pointerEvents=none to the popup root style and it did not change anything.

From: pointer-events - CSS | MDN

In addition to indicating that the element is not the target of pointer events, the value none instructs the pointer event to go "through" the element and target whatever is "underneath" that element instead.

I imagine you would want to leave this at the default (auto).

What version of Ignition (and Perspective Workstation) are you using?

Ignition 8.3.0 and Perspective workstation 3.3.0 on the Ipad. Changed pointerEvents to Auto and the problem seems to be fixed.

Thanks

This (auto) should have been the default value for that property. Look around for anywhere this property was overridden / applied (and therefore inherited on your popups). You might check the advanced style sheet (if it has been added), any style classes that are referenced, etc.
