CEGUI (Crazy Eddie's GUI) Forums

hi, I am trying to pick objects or place objects in my scene, and that works fine, problem is, I have cegui setup with a few windows in the corners of my screen with some buttons, now when i hit those buttons, it still picks objects if they are behind the buttons. and still the buttons can't work.

I need it to determine if the mouse is over a window, and to disable picking at that point.

Will anybody tell me how to do that.Thanks for advance!

The System::getWindowContainingMouse method might be of use here, though when not over a button, it may likely return your root 'sheet' and not NULL, so just check for that condition too.

Another alternative is to check the return from the mouse event injectors to see if the event was handled by CEGUI - if so you do not pass on to your picking code, and if the event was not handled, you would
