**SOLVED** Screen lower in stack collecting events

Archived
1

Problem:
I’m developing a custom UI with button events / drawing, except for some reason, an roScreen BELOW another is capturing the universalControlEvent for the button(s) and getting me stuck in a loop.

  1. Main screen, click settings
  2. Settings gives a list of options, click one
  3. an “are you sure” dialog comes up (default Roku UI)
  4. Press OK
    ----- settings screen at point 2 thinks I just re-selected the same option again and the dialog comes back up. repeat … forever.

Any help?

SOLVED

A dialog (from the default Roku UI) does not “cover” an roScreen in the stack and the stack will still get events. Create a new roScreen, display the dialog, and then kill it. The pseudo-screen will “capture” (but not do anything) with the events instead.
