How to detect Mouse over gui and guilayout elements?
Hi,
Say I have a gui slider controlling a model property and when the user mouse over this slider I want to hilite the 3d model that will be affected by this slider.
Problem is I can't find a way to register a function to gui mouse events. I do not need to modify the style or skin of the gui on mouseover, I need to call a function of mine.
Is it possible? or am I missing the plain obvious?
thanks for your help

Found the answer here:
http://unity3d.com/support/documentation/ScriptReference/GUILayoutUtility.GetLastRect.html
There is also a clear example on detecting mouseover. Works perfectly.
Here's a solution that works for GUILayout also ... what a hassle.
Just after GUILayout.HorizontalSlider ...
if (Event.current.type == EventType.Repaint &&
GUILayoutUtility.GetLastRect().Contains(Event.current.mousePosition))
{
usingSlider=true;
}
then in your update routine ....
void Update()
{
if ( Input.touchCount == 0 ) usingSlider = false;
if ( usingSlider == true ) return;
.. continue as normal...
that's it !
$$anonymous$$ - brilliant, but doesn't seem to work for GUILayout ... :/
... later: I added an approach that works perfectly for GUILayout.
Check out the answer to this question: Mouseover-Detection.
ok, thanks for the reference, I hoped for a proper built in way, cause rect detection is not very nice really...and hittest doesn't work just yet, currently investigating why, but it returns always a guielement with nothing in it hwereever aclick, likely to become my next question.
Anybody knows how to do this in the 4.6 UI ? I don't want my controls to fire if I'm hovering over my hud elements with the mouse.
