Controls and lua

For both above cases, do I have to udpate the parent container where the user controls reside that this is taken into account? How can I tell a user control to update while it is shown without closing and re-opening the window? Hm, well, that are my current question Thanks for any answers.

It is possible, but you shouldn't use too much LUA inside XML. It's always better to create special function that will be triggered on event fired.

1. I think it should work.
<OnClicked>
YourRef:SetMouseEnabled(not (YourRef:IsMouseEnabled()))
</OnClicked>

2.
<OnClicked>
YourRef:SetHidden(not (YourRef:IsHidden()))
</OnClicked>

3. This will help preform any method with your container's parent. If you really need it.
<OnClicked>
(self:GetPatent()):*yourmethod*
</OnClicked>

4. Just update your container as usual. You don't have to hide it.
