Dropdown not clickable if on top of other gui components about ofxdropdown

[roymacdonald]

that has to do with the event priority of the whole gui. it gets set when the mouse events are registered.
even when you can change the default event priority for ofxGui it is stored as an enum type instead of an int, and the default is already the lowest.
So, a work around would be to listen to each dropdowns dropdownWillShow_E event, and call unregisterMouseEvents(); on the gui that gets hidden by the dropdown. Then you also listen to the dropdown's dropdownHidden_E so when it gets hidden you call registerMouseEvents(); on the gui that gets hidden by the dropdown.
There is a work around to this by setting the events priorities for the dropdown to be lower (happens first) but it is more cumbersome. I will add it to the addon, so it is handled internaly.

Hey! Sorry it took me so long to add this feature. Now it is implemented along with several other. Check the ofxDropdown.h file for the new functions. All have inline documentation.
As for the feature you ask for to work you only need to update to the newest version of this addon.

Hi! Back updating this project...

I think there are still some issues. I can see through the dropdown options and mouse events go to whatever is behind the dropdown.

Hey, Thanks for letting me know. I now realized why the previous "fix" I made did not work.
I am using this addon a lot so I will get it fixed soon.
