Allow UIButton and UIInput to receive a click.

[zippo227]

I have a UIButton that interacts with my custom UIInput. When the user clicks outside of the UIInput, I want to hide that UIButton, unless, the click was on the UIButton. It's pretty important for the functionality of my input. I don't want to have all the extra buttons showing unless the user currently is interacting with the input.

protected override void OnSelect(bool isSelected)
{
      base.OnSelect(isSelected);

      extraButton.SetActive(isSelected);
}

The problem is, the UIInput receives the click first, which disables the UIButton and prevents it from ever being able to receive a click. I've tried setting alpha to 0 and scale to 0, and other such tricks, but nothing seems to work. How can I implement this?

Don't listen to the OnSelect notification. Subscribe to UICamera.onSelect instead. It's a generic delegate that will be called regardless of what's selected, letting you decide what happens.

Thanks for this! It worked great. I set a tag on the game objects that I want to be able to click and check that tag in the OnSelect delegate.

(When I tried to post the code I wrote as an example I got this error. "You don't have permission to access /forum/index.php on this server"
Additionally, a 403 Forbidden error was encountered while trying to use an ErrorDocument to handle the request.)

Yeah the forum here seems to reject some code segments that it believes may be database queries or something...

OK here's a link to a pastebin of it.
