collider not disabled when disable UIPanel

[realblues]

My Panel has several widgets like button, Inputs..

and several Panel exists in same position, it's visible only one Panel by situation.

to hide it, i use UIPanel.enabled, then images hide but collider still enabled, so new widgets not triggering well.

isn't it right way? should i use NGUITools.SetActive()?

Yeah, use NGUITools method. It will hide all children as well.

Thanks for Quick reply

Or use SetActiveRecursively(gameObject, true/false).

Difference with NGUITools.SetActive is that the NGUI version affects parents first, and the built in affects children first.

[ArenMook]

Depends on whether it's 'true' or 'false', Nicki. When enabling, parents are enabled before children. When disabling, children are disabled before parents.

Unity's built-in version doesn't do this, and always enables and disables in the same order, which can produce some odd effects.

[Nicki]

Ah, I did not know that you change the order based on that.

Nonetheless, both can produce odd effects when you don't know (or expect) the behavior of it.
