Mouse click but only if GUI is not clicked?

[danielmccarthy]

Hi,

My mouse click code works perfectly fine but my problem is when they click on the chat window it still moves the character? How can I check to see if any GUI is selected this way I can prevent my code being called? Here it is at the moment.

Code: Select all

 
 if (event.EventType == EET_MOUSE_INPUT_EVENT)
    {
        switch(event.MouseInput.Event)
        {
        case EMIE_LMOUSE_PRESSED_DOWN:
 
            Mouse.down = true;
            Mouse.cursorX = event.MouseInput.X;
            Mouse.cursorY = event.MouseInput.Y;
 
            if (_inGame)
                game->MouseLClicked(event.MouseInput.X, event.MouseInput.Y);
 
            break;
 
        case EMIE_RMOUSE_PRESSED_DOWN:
            Mouse.cursorX = event.MouseInput.X;
            Mouse.cursorY = event.MouseInput.Y;
            if (_inGame)
                game->MouseRClicked(event.MouseInput.X, event.MouseInput.Y);
            break;
 
        case EMIE_LMOUSE_LEFT_UP:
        case EMIE_RMOUSE_LEFT_UP:
            Mouse.down = false;
            break;

With something like IGUIEnvironment::getRootGUIElement() ->getElementFromPoint(mousePos) you can find the element below the current mouse-position (you certainly need an instance of IGUIEnvironment).

Thats great can't believe I didn't think of that thanks mate

I use the hover message to do this by setting a bool flag in the 'level' class.
If the bool variable is set, then no events get sent to the character or camera.

switch the event and react to the hover.
hover tells me when the mouse is over a gui element.

case EGET_ELEMENT_HOVERED: return OnElementHovered(e);
