Overlapping panels

[SamSandq]

I’m writing a photo management app, and would like to see photos (imageviews) with overlaid data (stars, name, tags).

I haven’t found a way to achieve this in NAppGui on the mac, but know it’s possible using views in Swift with the same position, and semitransparent background (maybe 30% opacity) in labels.

Any ideas?

Hi @SamSandq. You can doit with custom views, where you can draw everything (images, text, shapes, etc).
Please review the code of this demo (left side): https://nappgui.com/en/howto/drawimg.html
Also, if you want to separate the main drawing for the overlay, you can use the new 1.4 feature. https://nappgui.com/en/gui/view.html#h3

Hi, I will try that - wasn't aware that you could put images on views too. I will also upgrade to 1.4, since it's available. Any news on the upcoming Tree (=outline) control? Cheers,

The TreeView features for the TableView control is planned for NAppGUI 1.4.2 (March/April of incoming 2024).
