CEGUI (Crazy Eddie's GUI) Forums

I know that you can highlight buttons using mouse hover, the button will change it's StateImagery to "Hover". Is this doable by using key input? For example, press right will highlight the button on the right. The button doesn't seem to go into "Hover" state and I'm not sure how to change it's state in code. I use button->activate() to make the button the focus but it seems that the imagery is still in "Normal".

I notice that FalagardToggleButton has a lot more states (selected push, etc). Is it better off to just use this class instead?

I think the only way to change to the hover state for this type, without re-writing some CEGUI code, is by physically moving the mouse over the button.

I think this would be your best option. Here you can change to a selected/on state (that resembles hover) without actually requireing the mouse to be hovering the button.
