Hi,
Perhaps you could explain what you are trying to achieve then we could advise better.
Layouts have methods Hide (contents hidden, space on screen still held), Gone (contents hidden, space on screen is released),
Show (shows layout again, works after Hide, works after Gone).
And you can Hide and Gone and Show individual controls.
Also you can change the background and text colours (inactive controls are usually greyed out)
and change the OnTouch (or OnTouchDown, etc) to do nothing, then change the colours and OnTouch back to activate again.
Finally individual controls have the method SetEnabled
"En/Disable the control physically and visually so that the user can/can not access the control. Events like OnTouch will still be fired."
Hope this helps.
Regards, ah
