New command : bring button to front

Would it be possible to to have this command as an event. This would allow active switches to be made by stacking buttons, each with their own attached events. Hiding the button don't work as the it still executes when hidden

but what about navigation?
I have played with stacking buttons to change the function of a button, but have had to implemented multiple screens that look the same instead.

Even if you have multiple buttons on top of each other, it is the one you navigate too that is executd not the one on top...........that is presuming you are navigating with IR or keyboard.

You would I suspect need 4 event.

button.front
button.back
button.NavOn
button.NavOff

Then you could have truely dynamic screens with an element of logic.....
If button pressed THEN etc..........
implemented using events, show/hide, front/back, navON/navOFF....

Using a touchscreen so navigation is not a problem. Whatever function I want the button to change to is what I would like, so only button to front is needed.
Doing it with multiple screens at the moment like you, but bringing a button to would drastically reduce effort in skinning.
