Disable Input events on Texts / Images?

I made a draggable panel implemented using IBeginDragHandler, IDragHandler, IEndDragHandler with some customization. Full implementation at https://github.com/eppz/Unity.Library.eppz_kit/blob/master/EPPZUI/EPPZUI_Draggable.cs

Every Text / Image I put above this (or into) eats up all the pointer events.

Is there any way to modify Text / Image components to tell them ignore pointer events, or at least not to Use() events, so they can propagate beneath. Something like text.selectable = false, or similar? I'd prefer a per object solution instead polling the raycaster all the time.

 

The CanvasGroup component with Interactable/Blocks Raycasts disabled should be what you're looking for.

 

What happens if you don't call eventData.Use(); ?

 

Use() seemingly does nothing, I was intended to use this to prevent scene raycast hits behind the UI (but scene still reacts).

 

Thanks, seems I have to wrap up every "cold" component into a non-interactable CanvasGroup, gonna try it later on.

Anyway, a similar checkbox on Text components would be the best. With CanvasGroups I have to split my UI hierarchy in unintended ways. An interactable Toggle will get too far from its label in the hierarchy this way... :/

 

Works just fine, thanks.
