Pass events to disabled objects

Feature request
1

Hello,

I have objects that are disabled, and they don’t receive touch events. This works as should be, but sometimes I would need some elements to receive events. For example, if something is disabled and is touched, raise a popup explaining how to enable it.

In line 872 of lv_indev I have tried disabling the line

if(indev_obj_act && (lv_obj_get_state(indev_obj_act, LV_OBJ_PART_MAIN) & LV_STATE_DISABLED)) {
indev_obj_act = proc->types.pointer.act_obj;

and now all the disabled objects receive the events. But I think the best would be a property where you can set if the event is passed (in case of disabled) or not, set by default to off.

Another user had the opposite request, so we would need to add a setting to toggle between the two behaviors.

I think the current method is valid for almost all cases, so it is correct. But for some cases, it should be possible to change it. Like when you change lv_obj_set_click on a label, for example.

Actually, I have just modified the code, adding a variable like click in the obj definition, and a pair of functions, and now I can modify this behaviour whenever I want

I will try to make a commit when possible, to see if it makes sense.
