need to put browser partly under image

Post by macnomad2 » Sun Nov 13, 2011 4:20 pm

Hello

In my (nearly finished) app - an ebook in french with some extra stuff including a browser - I have a browser which works well.
Thanks to the official published example... BUT

I would like to put the rectangle of this browser behind other controls partly (actually an image is partly eating one of his corners, don't ask me why ;)
Unfortunately it seems to be always on top of everything else.
I tried to play with several properties set by iphoneControlSet sBrowserId
setting "opaque" to "false" or "true" or playing with "backgroundColor"
but no luck.
I can't change its position on the card either to put it under the other LC controls

Any idea ? Is it possible with LC ?

Hi macnomad2,

any "browser" will always create some kind of overlay, so this is not possible per se.

Thanks ! OK I will change the user interface, then !
I guess the hierarchy of layers can't be played too much with, in this case !

Hi Georges,

yes, "browsers" are alway on top!

Hi,
One thing you can do is change the rect of the browser to show buttons that have been arranged in a side bar or possibly navigation buttons located in the margin surrounding your browser window and then go back to full screen when your done requiring those button options. The browser does float above all the other controls.
