DX 2 Question.
Tuesday, October 28, 2003 by Dreamdesign3d | Discussion: Stardock Software
I was wondering if it is possible to make Hot Spots on a DX 2 object? So if I wanted you to be able to click on different parts of the object to do different tasks.

It's not a feature of DesktopX but can be done using DXScript. You would need to have something like:
Sub Object_OnStateChange(state)
If State = "Mouse down" then
if system.cursorx > FirstHotSpotLeft and _
system.cursorx < FirstHotSpotRight and _
system.cursory > FirstHotSpotTop and _
system.cursory < FirstHotSpotBottom then
' It's in the 1st hot spot so do something
end if
end if
End Sub
In the example above you would swap the FirstHotSpotLeft/Right etc with the actual values. If you were calling it so many times you would probably want to set up a function called CheckHotspot which you could call very simply and returned a True/False depening on if it was in the hotspot.
