Will it ever be possible place controls over browser widget?

[Brian Milby]

Native layers are drawn above all LC layers regardless of what layer the object is in. This would go for native buttons and other controls as well. An interesting experiment would be to try a native button over the browser widget.

On desktop you can layer over the browser widget using a second stack that has transparency set appropriately and sits in front of the browser stack.

Thanks,
Brian

(Actually, nothing is, it's all smoke and mirrors). It would write or draw if you will to a rect on the screen, and once it did that, none of the "underlying" objects were accessible until the browser object was cleared.
