Mouseovergadget()

A command that returns the GadgetNumber if the mouse is located over one. eg:

MouseOverGadget()

Returns: -1 if no gadget is under mouse
values =>0 Gadget

Would make life much easier to apply different context-menus to single Gadgets(Ranges)

What do you think?

Good idea! It can be done now by checking in a procedure, but it's clumsy to
do it that way. What reason do you need it for, out of curiosity?

It woule be very usefull if you have some Lists (eg GadgetListView) on a window visible and want a Contextmenu with different actions applying to the selected items of the lists.

In general a Zone Library would be goot. Eg:

SetZone ZoneNr,x,y,[width,height],[radius]
DeleteZone ZoneNr
result=zone(x,y) returns the zone which is defined at this position

It's easy to do with the new EventType() command:

If EventType() = #PB_EventType_LeftClick
Debug GetGadgetState()
DisplayPopupMenu()...
EndIf

A MouseOverGadget() should work different.

You don't have to click anything, just move your cursor over the gadget and you get an action...

I did once a MouseOver area and it worked well.
If somebody needs it I can search for it...


Have a nice day...

Sometimes you have to go a lonely way to accomplish genius things.
