Mouse over button?

[Matti]

Sorry, perhaps I'm just too tired... but:

I want to check if the mouse is over a certain GUI-Button (cause then a label with a description should appear). I only found solutions for either other locations (hotspots, regions etc.) or for GUI-buttons when a mousebutton is pressed but that's not the case.

I guess GetAtScreenXY could help but I admit that I don't quite understand that command.

So any help is appreciated.

function rep_exec() {
GuiControl*button=GuiControl.GetAtScreenXY(mouse.x,mouse.y);
if (button==Btnnamehere) {
//ecc
}

Note: That GuiControl can be used for all GUI controls.

There is no sense in checking the mouse each and every loop (since it's in the Rep_Exec) if the GUI isn't even visible.

So I'd just put an if statement to check if it was visible, then run the code.

Code: ags

if (gwhatever.Visible==true) {
//check to see if mouse is over button code
}

Thanks, that works.

The only thing is that the "Gui" in GUIControl has to be written in capital letters in order to be recognized, but I could figure that out myself.

I'd kill you if you couldn't. 8)
