Hi, I'm sure I'm missing something really obvious but... If I have a canvas with one component that overlays another what can I do to ensure events do not filter through to the component below? An earlier post by Matt suggests disabling the overlaying component. This works but doesn't do much for me if I need children of the overlaying component to be active.
Any ideas?
