Image Widget does not sense clicks.

[robertsonb]

Hello,

It appears that the Image widget does not have a "sense" hooked up and therefore doesn't listen for button clicks.

At least, that's how it appeared after quickly comparing Image to Button implementations.

I'm not sure if this is intentional and I should wrap the image in some other container that detects clicks... or if this is indeed a bug / missing functionality.

What I'm trying to do is implement a simple Tile picker/chooser, and so I was looking to just show the image, detect clicks on it, get the mouse cursor offset into the widget, do the math, and pick the tile. I didn't see any other obvious way of doing it with the current EGUI types, so I went this route.

Thanks!

Hi!

When adding a widget (such as an Image) you get back an egui::Response which includes the Rect for its location. You can detect clicks on it using ui.interact as so:

let response = ui.image(...);
let id = ui.make_position_id(); 
let response = ui.interact(response.rect, id, Sense::click());
if response.clicked {
    ...
}

This should work well, but has the downside of the image looking the same regardless of the mouse hovering or clicking on it (while a regular button changes color when you interact with it). I am planning to one day add some sort of button container that adds a frame around e.g. an image so that you get that nice mouse-over effect, but I haven't gotten around to it yet.

That did the trick, all good on my end.

Really enjoying the UI system your putting together, nice work :-)
