Lets say that I have DirectDraw game and I blt some image as a button. When user move the mouse over this image I want to change it. Do I have to use general WM_MOUSEMOVE message and check x and y values of mouse cursor or can I do it faster and better. Please help me in this problem and I''d be grateful for any code examples.

Use DirectInput then in get the x and y position of the "mouse" every frame and check if it is "over" that image. If so change it. I don''t think there is another way.

I thought so too at the beginning, but then I thought that if I would have 20 buttons it would be slow to check in each WM_MOUSEMOVE event x and y coordinates and buttons borders.

Anyway, a lot of thanks to you
