Hi, fltk::belowmouse() will fail if you don't propagate events to widget/group that is calling it. I'm assuming you call it from Window, but actually you should use it inside MenuBar. To explain: when you open menu, all events will go to it and it's children, including fltk::ENTER (if you peek inside fltk::belowmouse() documentation, you will see "This is the last widget to respond to an fltk::ENTER event as long as the mouse is still pointing at it."); Window or MenuBar parent, in the mean time does not receive anything. I'm assuming you are trying to get some effect when mouse entered Item; I would advise handling that part from handle() like it was done for highlighting. You can check highlighting sample from MenuBar code :) -- Sanel _______________________________________________ fltk mailing list [email protected] http://lists.easysw.com/mailman/listinfo/fltk
