Question

Access dropdown button options in Hover state within the card


Marlon

I have designed a card that has two states:
One “Default” and one “Hover”.
In the “Hover” state a drop-down button is displayed.

The problem arises when I try to access the button options, since when I move the cursor it is outside the card area, it returns to its “Default” state.

How can I solve it, can anyone help me?

I would greatly appreciate the community.

Hi @Marlon! Thanks for reaching out about interactions! I appreciate you sharing the screenshot and video that help us understand the issue clearly.

I’m not entirely sure if these options would address this particular situation, but here are two suggestions I can think of at the moment:

  • Create a Hover interaction for an object that includes the range of the dropdown object.

  • Use the [Mouse enter] interaction with the [Close when clicking outside] option. You can check the interaction details here: Create interactions

I hope one of these options might provide some insights for you!
Please let us know if I’m missing any additional points.

Thank you very much for responding to my query.

I tell you that I considered option 2 among the solutions but it did not convince me.

I would like to know more in detail, how did you do option 1?

Thanks again.
