Is there any way to detect mouse-over on a button or object?

it depends what you want to do, but you can , for example add a has changed module on the X (or Y) position outlet of your object..?

it might be not such a blunt idea to implement mouseover as a generic attribute ... "mouseover+timeperiod" is a well established trigger event with some hcis like leap or eye trackers ...

Yes iococoi, I was expecting this to be part of a generic for the objects like the dble click etc...I too think this should be implemented. I can find alot of uses for this. I am working on an add-on (hoping to have finished by this weekend)....Working on some information updates by mouse over to conserve on space.

Also interested in finding out how to access the help engine pop-up display. If I can provide users with some good help, I think this would be phenomenal to demonstrate for beginners, also would be interesting to allow more pop-up information as an alternate to the method I am approaching.

Is there a reason nay-7's method won't do it? It only requires a single module (or 3, if you're worried about the edge case of mousing perfectly vertically or horizontally.....)

No we never said Nay's way wouldn't work...actually haven't had time to implement it.
I agree nays method should work...just commenting I was expecting this as a standard-generic, like mouse-over, right-click, etc...

Implemented "has changed" on "Mouse X", then used another subpatch that "Passes On Change".....this increments a listbox...now Dynamically updates Text Field when mouseover...I will try to do a simplified version and put in Addons.
Thanks guys!

Example of the Mouse-Over is now available in the Add-Ons Section

Nice one sephult, and thanks to share , could be useful !

tips: use a text panel in place of the text field, text panel have a "left text margin" option , this way , text will not move each time

I was wondering about that nay, my main project the text was left-justified....and I was curious why this defaulted right.
Why would the text-field come from the right? Is this for like a scrolling function, like right to left word scrolling?
