TransparentPointer

TransparentPointer is the solution to "How to pass through all gestures between two widgets in Stack" problem.

For example, if there is 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, similar to event bubbling in HTML/JS.

Example

import flet as ft

def main(page):
    page.add(
        ft.Stack(
            [
                ft.GestureDetector(
                    on_tap=lambda _: print("TAP!"),
                    multi_tap_touches=3,
                    on_multi_tap=lambda e: print(
                        "MULTI TAP:", e.correct_touches
                    ),
                    on_multi_long_press=lambda _: print("Multi tap long press"),
                ),
                ft.TransparentPointer(ft.Container(
                    ft.ElevatedButton("Test button"),
                    padding=50
                )),
            ],
            expand=True,
        )
    )

ft.app(main)
