should a GUI object be still mouse sensitive when covered by a [panel] ?

i would expect GUI objects not to respond on mouse events when covered by any other object especially a [panel] .

is this a normal behavior ?

i was aware of the "ignoreclick" message, and was only wondering about panel's relation to mouse events.

the ignoreclick message is great but in my case i need an easy solution to "show" that certain modules ( bpatchers) of a patch are inactive or disabled. therefore covering them with a translucid panel seemed a good idea ( like "greying" the module out ) instead of sending an"ignoreclick 1" to numerous GUI elements.

ill just go with covering my modules with panels and ubuttons :)

thanks again for the great work on max5, it is making so many things so much easier :)
