I have a bunch of buttons distributed across an image with a hand cursor showing when mouseovered.

If I show a new frame over the page the mouse still responds to the now concealed buttons by becoming a hand, although the 'disable click through' option for that frame is ticked...

This gives the impression that there is something to click on when the button is hidden.
Any ideas?

Hi Mac,

The buttons may be concealed but only because you have a Frame masking the buttons. You need to "Hide" the buttons, then their mouse-over cursors will not display. So probably a suggestion for you is to have an On-Show trigger on the Frame to Hide the buttons, and an On-Hide trigger on the same Frame to "Show" the buttons again.



"Stop mouse clicks passing through" does not effect mouse-overs or cursors. It is so when you click on the object, any objects underneath (that also have assigned mouse-click triggers), will not be affected.

might be a beneficial feature if DW made the stop clicks passing through include stop mouse-overs passing through.

Yes I agree. There are times when hiding is not desired and disabling is more suitable. And with mouse pointer changing while disabled doesn't seem to make a lot of sence to me (IMHO).

Hello,

Try this work around:

Select the frame.
Open the properties window.
Open the Tab Cursors.
Select another cursor than arrow.
Push the button [apply].
Select the cursos arrow.
Push the button [apply] again.

Now the frame will show the arrow and not the cursor of the buttons behind the frame.

Kind regards,

This is a handy tip, Oscar.

May I add it even works on empty invisible frames. It just goes to show how versatile Opus is!

Neat tip - however I don't think mouse pointer states are dynamic at runtime.

Hi Swan,

Yes they work when published. (well they do in 05.14)

You may have misunderstood - dynamic at runtime meaning, changing the states of the mouse pointer at runtime. As far as I'm aware it can't be done, but I'd be happily overruled here.
