mouse hover effects

[CaptainPants]

Hi there,

I was wondering if there is a good way to allow mouse over affects in the irrlicht GUI. Normally, when an element is 'focussed' no other elements receive EMIE_MOUSE_MOVED events (particularly, the Hovered element does not).

I *fixed* it by changing the CGUIEnvironment class's postEventFromUser method on line 508:

Code: Select all

// sending input to focus
if (Focus && Focus->OnEvent(event))
	return true;

// focus could have died in last call
if (/*!Focus &&*/ Hovered) // commented out the '!Focus &&' [508]
	return Hovered->OnEvent(event);

This sends EMIE_MOUSE_MOVED messages (and other mouse events) to the hovered element when their is no focussed element or it's OnEvent returns false....

Can anyone tell me what unexpected side-effects this will have? or if there is a better way?

Thanks guys

I did it somewhat similar. Looks like that here:

Code: Select all

		if ( Hovered && Focus && Hovered != Focus && event.MouseInput.Event == EMIE_MOUSE_MOVED )
		{
			if ( Hovered->OnEvent(event) )
				return true;
		}

		// sending input to focus
		if (Focus && Focus->OnEvent(event))
			return true;

		// focus could have died in last call
		if (!Focus && Hovered)
			return Hovered->OnEvent(event);

I just found out that with my solution menus do no longer work. To make them work again I had to return false when handling EMIE_MOUSE_MOVED in CGUIContextMenu.cpp. Which seems fine anyway as the menu has no reason to eat the event.

Hey captain pants,

i dont know wat you are making with the GUI , but have a look at this menu here

i used images and such and mouse over as well as keyboard react with a simple implementation.

I dunno if it helps i just remember long ago when i made it i found it useful
