Hi Carl,

There is a thing called "Hot Spot" in the Buttons group that should do what you want but I haven't had much luck using it.  You should look at adding a hook to the image with something like: 

widget addEventHandler: CwConstants::ButtonReleaseMask receiver: self selector: #buttonRelease:clientData:callData: clientData: nil

where widget is from the image object.  When clicked #buttonRelease:clientData:callData: should be called.  From callData (I think) you can get the mouse position and with a little math you should be able to tell where in the image you are.

Ask if you need more help.

Lou

Thanks Louis,

 

I do not have anything in my 8.5.2 image called hot spot, hotspot, etc.  Is this something that I need to load in from somewhere?

If you are working in a Composition Editor window, there are two columns of button icons on the left.  The top of the left column is for button (clickable) types of widgets.  If you click the top left button the second column will show you those widgets.  The sixth one down in the right column is "Hot Spot".

As I said, I haven't had much luck with it, maybe some problem with window z order or something (can't keep the hot spot on top of the image).  Who knows, usually I give up and add my own hook.  But if you can get it to work it sounds like exactly what you need.

Hi Carl,

don't care about your visual  builder, use #AbtHotSpotView. For beeping when clickeed, it is useable ;)
I did it years ago in an application like Louis. Some trigonometrics to get the mouse cursor position did the job. It were bitmaps which shows bones, muscles or nerves and the task was to raise Tooltips with declaring texts.
