Custom control
Hey there,

I'm right now coding a custom control and was wondering how I'm be able to check if the left/right mouse button has been pressed and if the mouse is over the control.

Furthermore I wanted to know if there is way to renderer a specific control into a texture to use it afterwards as a skin to another control. (I was thinking of building my very own text formater and therefore I wanted to build the text once and render it to a texture and use this texture afterwards to increase rendering time a bit.)

PS: I've got a question more while I was adding buttons to the custom control as children, they are went to un-click'able. They do not respond to any mouse input. What do I have to do to get them aware of mouse input once again?

Thanks in advance.

RE: Custom control
Well since no one knows I had to find it out the hard way. Atleast the issue of non click'able buttons.

This is fixed while overwriting the "test()" method of the base ui control and re-routing it to the child controls.

Hopefully there will be solutions for the other "problems" I mentioned.

RE: Custom control
i've encountered another problem,

i made a custom GUI and i needed to put a TextLine inside it but whatever i tried TextLine didn't show any response to keyboard or mouse input. i overwrote test, update and draw functions but there is still no luck.
