I spent a lot of time since my last post, trying to figure out what happened. I’m still stuck but have figured out a few things.

To review: I was working on my 2nd Pythonista UI and had had a button that was being covered and hidden by the View.

After much screwing around, I managed to cover all the buttons with the view. The happed because my thumb hit the trash can button, while I was inspecting the View, so I made a new View, which proceeded to cover all the buttons.

So here are some questions:

Is there a parent child relationship between views and buttons?

If so, is there a was to change the relationship?

I tried the code:

view.send_to_back()

It made the view and its border completely disappear when I ran the program. Not helpful...

I’m going to delete and start over, but it seems there should be ways to handle this.

Someone, maybe @mikael or @polymerchm used to have a pyui editor, which let you change the heirarchical relationship of UI.Views.

Pyui's are just json files, so you can also just edit them directly.

Pyui's are just json files, so you can also just [change file extension from .pyui -> .json] edit them directly [and then change the extension from .json -> .pyui].
