button question

[jova]

I use custom buttons for my quickhud addon, and the only problem is they still activate if they're clicked when they're behind a dframe.

[lua] if CursorPos( ScrW()-124, 1, 100, 17 ) then
draw.RoundedBox( 0 , ScrW() - 124, 1, 100, 17, Color( 255, 255, 255, 60 ) )

if (input.MousePress( MOUSE_LEFT )) then
draw.RoundedBox( 0 , ScrW() - 124, 1, 100, 17, Color( 0, 55, 195, 60 ) )[/lua]

[lua]function CursorPos(x,y,w,h) --used for un parented buttons (original function made by The Maw, variables differ from original)
local cpx,cpy = gui.MousePos()

if (cpx>x)and(cpx<x+w)and(cpy>y)and(cpy<y+h) then return true end
return false
end[/lua]

Is there any way to make it so, if it's behind a dframe, or any derma element, it won't activate the button?

You could check to see if the frame is in focus with an if statement.
[lua]if self:GetParent():HasFocus() then
//Do stuff here
end[/lua]

i don't really know how to use that, would it be like this:

[lua]
if self:GetParent():HasFocus() then
return false
else
if CursorPos( ScrW()-124, 1, 100, 17 ) then
draw.RoundedBox( 0 , ScrW() - 124, 1, 100, 17, Color( 255, 255, 255, 60 ) )

if (input.MousePress( MOUSE_LEFT )) then
draw.RoundedBox( 0 , ScrW() - 124, 1, 100, 17, Color( 0, 55, 195, 60 ) )
--code
end
end
end
[/lua]

?

[lua]

if CursorPos( ScrW()-124, 1, 100, 17 ) then
draw.RoundedBox( 0 , ScrW() - 124, 1, 100, 17, Color( 255, 255, 255, 60 ) )

if (input.MousePress( MOUSE_LEFT )) then
draw.RoundedBox( 0 , ScrW() - 124, 1, 100, 17, Color( 0, 55, 195, 60 ) )
--code
end
end
end
[/lua]

or something similar, i would suggest not doing buttons that way though and just use panel:Paintover() and OnCursorEntered, OnCursorExited,

maybe this will help you out

[lua]
function Button(Name, X, Y, W, H, col, Parent)
local Bt = vgui.Create( "Button", Parent )
Bt:SetText( Name )
Bt:SetPos (X, Y )
Bt:SetSize( W, H )
Bt.Paint = function()
draw.RoundedBox(0,0,0,Bt:GetWide(),Bt:GetTall(),col)
end
return Bt
end
[/lua]

also in another file if you went like this

[lua]
clr = Color( 0, 0, 0, 255 )
local KillButton = Button( "Kill", 0, 0, 50, 20, clr, ParentFrame )

KillButton.OnCursorEntered = function() clr = Color( 255, 255, 255, 255 ) end
KillButton.OnCursorExited = function() clr = Color( 0, 0, 0, 255 ) end
[/lua]

etc...may not work perfectly as i did that in the reply box, but good luck, sorry i havent had much time to help lately

[b]Edited:[/b]
Also, a return jumps to the end of the function so you cant have return then else, it will just see the return false and end the function...i believe
