Mouse on gadget

How can I set the mouse cursor for a specified gadget? I want one of my items to show the 'hand-link' mouse pointer, and I don't see in the docs how to do this. |
| ||
SetPointer or something like this...I'm at work I'm not sure |
| ||
Yes, but SetPointer is global, not gadget-releated. What if I want a button with a hand cursor? I don't even have a mouseenter - mouseleave control to activate and deactivate the hand pointer... No ideas? noone? |
| ||
18mins Ziggy... give people a chance! Tried it with a panel under the button but no good. Could you save x/y/w/h into an object and check when cursor is in those bounds? |

Ziggy: You can place a button on a slightly larger active panel to track where the mouse is and by using the EVENT_MOUSEENTER and EVENT_MOUSELEAVE commands, set the pointer when entering a gadget (or more specifically, its surrounding panel). Have a look at this example: A bit of a pain, but it's better than nothing. Seb |

The proper solution will be for MaxGUI to generate Enter/Leave /etc events on all gadgets... then you can do what you like. |
| ||
@Brucey: That's exactly the point. Or even han a 'setPointer' directly as a method of a Gadget. Why are there so many system events not being thrown by MaxGui? |
| ||
Perhaps they never got around to adding them. I know what you mean though. I wanted the pointer to change to a Hand when I moused over a label (which also changed colour), and then back to a pointer when I moused out (also changing the label colour back), to provide a clickable link. |

Some of them are never thrown, not? Quite some of those things work on Windows through tricks in the applications. Z Order modified panels that are created after but shifted behind other gui objects to track mouse data and all those stuff. Not all of that is a BM problem after all. The only way to come around it would be a little more actual GUI implementation than the dying WinAPI ... but I don't think we will see a .NET2 / 3 implementation before any pre Vista version of Windows died out |
