Is there any event like "Mouse Over" in the BUTTONs ??

I would like to program a window with a button. The button has a picture. If the mouse pointer goes over the button, it changes it picture.

(My quest is to make a MONKEY ISLAND 2 verbs gui)

Anybody can help me??? (maybe Mnemonic )

Hm... I can't really answer you question because I haven't tried to do something like that yet. But I can give you a small and usefull information. Jerrot has worked on a working Lucasarts verb bar already (he has released a demo a few months ago). And as far as I know, in a few days (?!?) he might release the sources. He just have to correct a few bugs.

EDIT: Oh... Jerrot posted at the same time... with more usefull information than me as usual

Yes, it has the low-level event "Press", you find it in the docs (Button object).

I started that with Buttons, but finally used entities in a window (the verb bar at the bottom) to use mouse-over effect, when the mouse is over some object.
You might like to look at this thread:

(BTW, @Mnemonic : Can you adjust the forum search ? you don't find anything with the preselected 60 days and sometime I even can't overwrite them for strange reasons.)

Download and see if you might use it, it's created just for example, I'm not going to use it myself. I want to publish the source code as soon as I cleaned and commented it.

Or maybe Jerrot.

Just for the record: the buttons can automatically change an image if the mouse pointer is over them.

For example:

Code: [Select]

 BUTTON
  {
    NAME = "LookAt"
    X = 46
    Y = 10
    IMAGE = "interface\actions\eye_down.sprite"
    IMAGE_HOVER = "interface\actions\eye_up.sprite"    

    PARENT_NOTIFY = TRUE
  }

In this definition, normally the button uses "eye_down.sprite", but when the mouse is over it, "eye_up.sprite" is used instead.

But Jerrot's verb-bar code is far more advanced and gives more possibilities

Thanks Both, Mnemonic & Jerrot!

Jerrot: I hope you release the source code soon
