title: How to disable mouse events over a certain area
body: <p>So what I have is a smaller Pane inside a larger Pane, and what I want to do is enable/disable any handling of mouse events over that smaller pane. That would be done in theory by setting the mouse events of the smaller pane and all its children to <i>null</i>, and then restoring them later. But this is tedious and I was wondering if there is a simpler way.</p>
  
  <p>Could I set a transparent Pane over that smaller pane to "capture" the mouse clicks for that area? Any suggestion is appreciated. btw I am working in javafx.</p>
