mouse over a pushbutton

I can use the CPoint object for knowing position in a dialog box. How can I tell if my mouse is positioned over a pushbutton. This would be similar to a tooltip however, I don't want to tell the user what the pushbutton does. I want to do something else if they are over the pushbutton. This will be done in OnMouseMove()

Hi,

You could do something like this:

CRect rectButton;
POINT ptCursorPos;

GetDlgItem(IDC_YOURBUTTON)->GetWindowRect(rectButton);
GetCursorPos(&ptCursorPos);

if (rectButton.PtInRect(ptCursorPos))
{
// Do Something
}

Do the check from within the MouseMove handler (which passes you the current mouse position), by getting the window rect of the button as Daniel suggests.

i m sure i downloaded some project from CODEGURU a week ago that was doing what you wanted...serach i the articles published and there is a downloadable one that does what you want..........

Subclass the pushbuttons and in its OnMouseMove go and do your stuff.....
