Typically the 'focus' has absolutely nothing to do with the mouse. The mouse can move the focus, but they are not the same thing; the keyboard, typically, can also move the 'focus', but again the 'focus' is a separate entity. So what, exactly, do you mean when you say "mouse focus"??

Do you mean that you want to automatically move the mouse over the button when the window opens? If so, just re-position the mouse yourself. You can use Window::getPixelRect() to get the pixel position of the button, and then just set the mouse position based on that.

p.s. this is a Beginner question...this does not belong in the Advanced help forum.

How can I re-position the mouse I Can not find the true function.

You could use the System::injectMousePosition() method: http://www.cegui.org.uk/api_reference/c ... 41d9f080c4

Cegui will manage showing the corresponding state imagery.

However as soon as you move the mouse for real, i think that the button jumps back to the normal state again. What you could do is trick the user by putting the hower image on the normal 'slot':

Code: Select all

myButton->setProperty("NormalImage", "set:mySet image:buttonHover");


So that, when the mouse moves for real, the normal state looks hovered. You should however find the best place in your code when to undo this trick and set the correct image name again.

HTH.
