What's up with Event.current.Use()?

Unity Engine
1

I have a GUI panel that I display on top of existing GUI buttons. At the end of the GUI layout function, I have added some code to consume any input related event so as not to let them propagate to the buttons on the GUI layer behind this panel.

This used to work a couple of weeks ago but with the latest update it seems to not have any effect: when my panel is open, I can still click on invisible UI elements behind it (and start the game from my option menu…). I am not entirely sure if the problem comes from recent changes in my code or a bug introduced in one of the last updates of Unity. So in doubt, I’m asking here first if anyone else is having this problem.

Here’s a snippet of my code:

protected override void OnGUI()
	{
		base.OnGUI();

		BeginPanel( screen.ToString() );

		GUILayout.Space( titleSpacing );

		if( screen == Screen.Credits )
			LayoutCreditScreen();
		else
			LayoutOptionScreen();

		GUILayout.FlexibleSpace();

		if( GUILayout.Button( "Back", GUILayout.Height( buttonsHeight ) ) )
		{
			Game.UI.PlayDeactivationSound();

			if( screen == Screen.Options )
				Destroy( this.gameObject );
			else
				screen = Screen.Options;
		}

		EndPanel();

        switch( Event.current.type )
        {
            case EventType.MouseDown:
            case EventType.MouseUp:
            case EventType.MouseDrag:
                Event.current.Use();
                break;
        }
}

Let me know if more details are needed.

where is the code called thats behind?
Or asked more precisely: sure its called after this code here?

There’s nothing more called after this. OnGUI() is called by Unity(), and this one calls base.OnGUI() to execute the base class code. Anything after that ends in this method.

The part that’s supposed to swallow the event is at the end of the function block:

switch( Event.current.type )
        {
            case EventType.MouseDown:
            case EventType.MouseUp:
            case EventType.MouseDrag:
                Event.current.Use();
                break;
        }

I’m having the same problem, did you manage to fix it?

Seems broken, anyone managed to get this to work?

Anyone work out what’s going on here?
