The TransparentPointer Control

[ndonkoHenri]

I am just from seeing this control in the python sdk, but don't think it has already been mentioned in the docs,
I will eventually like to know more...

So, it's a solution for the problem from here: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/65269190/pass-trough-all-gestures-between-two-widgets-in-stack

Imagine if you have an ElevatedButton inside Container with GestureDetector then tapping on a button won't be visible to a gesture detector behind it. With TransparentPointer a tapping event doesn't stop on a button, but goes up to the parent, kind of event bubbling in HTML/JS.

Look at the same usage here: https://github.com/flet-dev/flet/blob/main/studio/server/main.py#L49-L61

Whatever clickable controls you have inside FletApp container all their events are visible to gesture detector.

Would Flet community benefit from that control, so I have to document it?

It might be useful someday. I think you should just document all those 'secret' controls you've made. 😉

May I ask why put FletApp in a TransparentPointer? (But there is no GestureDetector..¿)

By the way, is FletApp already ready? If yes, please document it with an example..
