AbsorbPointerModifier class

A widget that absorbs pointers during hit testing.

When absorbing is true, this widget prevents its subtree from receiving pointer events by terminating hit testing at itself. It still consumes space during layout and paints its child as usual. It just prevents its children from being the target of located events, because it returns true from RenderBox.hitTest.

{@tool dartpad} The following sample has an AbsorbPointer widget wrapping the button on top of the stack, which absorbs pointer events, preventing its child button and the button below it in the stack from receiving the pointer events.

** See code in examples/api/lib/widgets/basic/absorb_pointer.0.dart ** {@end-tool}

• IgnorePointer, which also prevents its children from receiving pointer events but is itself invisible to hit testing.
