Hello, We have a Use Case when we want to have one container Node (for example basically a Pane, but it can be others containers) transparent to Mouse events, but not its children. We use it mainly to group children and control their positions, but we want to receive events on the children but not the parent Node.
When using a Pane for example, there is a way to do it, by setting the pickOnBounds property to false, and one of the dimensions of the Pane to 0. That way the Pane is transparent to Mouse events, but not its children. However this is not straightforward, and it is not possible to do it while still having a non transparent Pane. Is there another (better) way to do this in JavaFX 8? Or did we miss something which allowed to do this in a more straightforward way even in JavaFX 2.2? If this is definitely the only way do do this (which work), wouldit be possible to add this kind of partial Mouse transparency in 8? Regards, Hervé
