Kamran, that's not quite what I meant: the mouse currently controls the view even when the dialog is on-screen but I don't want it to! What I'm after is a cursor to appear when the (full) map appears, so that the user can click on e.g. spawn points and other icons.
As Tim says, I want it to be a modal dialog but couldn't find out how to do that yesterday. I'll keep looking... -----Original Message----- From: Tim Holt [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: 18 August 2005 18:51 To: [email protected]; Kamran Cc: [email protected] Subject: Re: [hlcoders] Accepting mouse input in the overview map I was thinking of tackling this by having the "mini" overview be as it is now - no mouse interface. But then also an alternate overview map which is actually a modal dialog - like the MOTD display is (have to click "OK" to continue).
