    I have a complex canvas structure with UI elements - I would like to be able to quickly switch them in and out of visibility - but I don't want to call setactive - because I still want their monobehaviour functions called and I also want then to receive event calls.

    I thought about added canvasrenderer components at the level i would like to hide from - but there doesn't seem to be a a property that would toggle the rendering of the items.

    Is there any way for me to do this? Really appreciate the help.

    this.gameObject.GetComponent<SpriteRenderer>().enabled = false;
    this.gameObject.GetComponent<SpriteRenderer>().enabled = true;

    Would this work?
