Mouse-Over Events on buttons

#1 In guiButtonBaseCtrl.cc

void GuiButtonBaseCtrl::onMouseEnter(const GuiEvent &event)
{
...
     Con::executef(this, 1, "onMouseEnter");
}

Then in GUI script, handle the mouse enter for each button

function button1::onMouseEnter(%this)
{
    // change image
}

The same can be done for 'onMouseLeave' to clear the image

#2 Keep in mind that if you simply want the image of a button itself to change as the mouse interacts with that button, make your button a GuiBitmapButtonCtrl. Note that this is now stock Torque--some references in search indicate a resource has to be added (no longer the case).

From the initial question, it sounds as if he doesn't want the button itself to change, but the parent GuiControl, so you'll need to do some manual handling there as the second poster indicates.

#3 @Jeff, this was the next item on my list. I was just getting ready to hunt down this info. Thanks

#4 Actually I have the mouse over working on the button. My problem was with intercepting the mouse over event so that I can change an image in the background to show snapshots of various missions. I'll give this a try.

Thanks Guys!
