Logic and maths for dragging object with mouse.
Author
Hi, I am using C++
I am trying to move an object (looks like a square image) based on the mouse be over the image, the left button being down and when the mouse is moved the object moves.
Right now, I can move the object but only by having the object be centered around my mouse when I click. I would like to have the mouse stay relative to where it was clicked on the object, eg if you click in the top left, then the mouse stays in the top left while the object moves with the mouse.
Here's what I have so far:
Anyone able to help?
Calculate the offset from the corner on mouse down and then use that offset to position the object later.
MouseDown:
offset.X = mouse.X - obj.X;
offset.Y = mouse.Y - obj.Y;
MouseMove
obj.X = mouse.X - offset.X;
obj.Y = mouse.Y - offset.Y;
MouseDown:
offset.X = mouse.X - obj.X;
offset.Y = mouse.Y - obj.Y;
MouseMove
obj.X = mouse.X - offset.X;
obj.Y = mouse.Y - offset.Y;
Howabout making a "draggable" object such as
class InterfaceDraggable
{
public:
virtual void Move(int DeltaX,int DeltaY) = 0;
virtual bool HitTest(int MouseX,int MouseY) = 0;
};
Then, on the event of pushing the mouse button, you'll go through your objects and find the object which responds to the HitTest with positive result. Keep the pointer to this/these objects and until you get "mouse up" event (when you set the draggedobject list to NULL) you can pass the Move events with the mouse movement deltas. This way the object stays in a relation with the cursor always. Although changing the point of view may screw it up.
Cheers
