passing input from top level drawables to parent

[approachcircle]

i was wondering if there is a way to disallow a drawable from accepting input directly, and instead passing the input up to the drawable's parent to be dealt with instead using the parent's event handlers (OnClick, OnHover). i originally thought that if a top level drawable did not accept positional or non positional input, then the input would just be passed up the hierarchy, but it appears that's not the case.

apologies if i'm demonstrating terrible practice or do not have a good understanding of osu!framework, i'm very new to using it.

can you provide a code sample? i'm having trouble understanding what you are doing/seeing.

i have a ClickableContainer that i have now assigned the OnClick callback to Action with, and it has a child Container that does not contain any event handlers at all, but for some reason input is still not being handled by the ClickableContainer, and is instead being consumed by the child Container. the ClickableContainer has other callbacks such as OnHover, OnMouseDown that are also not being fired

If your case is that you don't want children to handle any input whatsoever, then you could override ShouldBeConsideredForInput(Drawable child) => false.

i overrode ShouldBeConsideredForInput(Drawable child) => false on the parent, and still it is not receiving any events. i have also just realised that the child Container to the parent ClickableContainer in my project actually isn't receiving input in the first place, because when it is clicked, nothing shows in the log stating that anything has actually handled input, so i have no idea where the input is going.

i tried replacing the ClickableContainer's child Container with just a Box, but still nothing is receiving input.

Please provide a complete test project or test scene. The code you've provided above is incomplete since you mention having callbacks that aren't listed.

Based on just the code above, the Box won't receive input and won't indicate input was received, because it doesn't override any of the handlers.

i have fixed the issue now, and the reason my ClickableContainer was never actually receiving input is because i didn't scale or move the parent container with it's children properly, so the position of it would never be in the same place as it's children, nor the same size, meaning it physically couldn't handle any events.

all callbacks are now being fired correctly, i just need to work on polishing the relative position of the parent container and its children, which shouldn't be a problem.
