3 state Button - weird behaviour
-
Hello, I wrote some code for using some buttons in my application which depending on the state can be one of the 3 images: - image_button_mouse_over.png (mouse is over my button) - image_button_mouse_norma.png (mouse left my button) - image_button_mouse_clicked.png (button clicked or mouse down) I used the events (mouse_enter/mouse_leave/mouse_up/mouse_down/mouse_clicked) and depding on that and appropiate image is set to the button. IT WORKS FINE untill.. I click a button which display any window/dialog/whatever, when I do this the button stays after the click in the normal state (LIKE IT SHOULD BE), but when I close the window/dialog it remains in the image_button_mouse_over state even when I put into my code
button_clicked(object sender,eventargs e) { button1.Image=image_button_mouse_norma_handler; dialog.ShowDialog(); button1.Image=image_button_mouse_norma_handler; }I checked and the mouse_leave event is fired, right after the showdialog() is lunched, but It doesnt change anything... Any Ideas ? -

Any Ideas ?First of all, you really should encapsulate this behaviour, so you can set the bitmaps on button1 ( please tell me it's not called that ), and it will draw itself properly. Second, perhaps your form needs to redraw itself, what if you call Invalidate() ?

Any Ideas ?I'm guessing here, but could it be that at some point in closing the window/dialog (which was opened by clicking the button) a mouse_enter message is getting set to the button, but since the mouse is not *actually* over the button, it never gets a mouse_leave message? Have you tried working the GotFocus and LostFocus events into your overall logic? -- modified at 16:06 Wednesday 4th October, 2006
