How does MouseMoveEvent work exactly?

[Lethn]

In my continuous mission of making more interactive stuff I'm having some difficulty understanding the way MouseMoveEvent works and I know this is what I'll need if I want to make things like buttons etc. I've been trying the usual methods other code uses but of course that isn't working.

Does anyone have know of any source code examples and such that show a basic button working for example? What I'm trying to do is to get the code to detect my mouse going over a sprite and then replacing it with another sprite when I click for example. I bet it's going to be one of those things where it just has a specific way of working to the other input commands and I've missed it completely.

Just so you know, I have looked at the documentation but of course it only explains the syntax and doesn't show it actually being used in a practical way which I think is why I'm having trouble understanding it.

Well now I feel stupid this section had exactly what I needed.

Just a quick question though, would the syntax be the same if I were to say replace cout with my sprite class?

Of course.

Yey! In that case I can experiment more now thanks for the help.

    while (window.isOpen())
    {

    sf::Event event;
    while (window.pollEvent(event))

if ( event.type == sf::Event::mouseMove );

{
    std::cout << "Mouse Move X works!: " << event.mouseMove.x;
    std::cout << "Mouse Move Y works!: " << event.mouseMove.y;
}


{
 if (event.type == sf::Event::Closed)
 window.close();
}

        window.clear();
        window.display();

    }

    return 0;

}

error: invalid use of non-static data member 'sf::Event::<anonymous union>::mouseMove'

I'm a bit baffled by this error message, it seems to be complaining about the classes? Not quite sure about this one the problem is when I tried changing "event" it threw up scope error messages instead, I've tried using MouseMoveEvent instead but of course that just caused more problems.

wow just got it sort of working! nevermind, for some reason the IDE at first didn't like it very much when I used MouseMoved then when I fiddled around some more it did.

Trust the official documentation, not the buggy intellisense of your IDE.

lol I'm using codeblocks and it does some weird ass things sometimes but I guess this must be something you have to get used to when programming.
