Main menu buttons

[Suggs]

How exactly would I code a function that checks to see if the mouse is in a certain area, and then when it's clicked another function will start. SO basically, how can I make an invisible box around a sprite that checks to see if the mouse is in it?

I can't seem to find anything on google.

This is with SFML 2.0 by the way.

Thanks in advance

You can either get the transformation (position & size) from the visible element or you can store them separately (e.g. std::vector<sf::FloatRect>).
Then you can iterate over those rects and do a simple 'collision' test. With SFML's sf::Rect<T> you can just call if(rect.contains(sf::Mouse::getPosition(window))) and then react the way you want to it.

Indeed, this is the way I did it:

if (startBtn.getGlobalBounds().contains(mouseCoordX, mouseCoordY))
                {
                        //switch to a highlighted version of the button

                        if (startBtn.getGlobalBounds().contains(mouseCoordX, mouseCoordY) && sf::Mouse::isButtonPressed(sf::Mouse::Left))
                        {
                                //do things
                        }
                }
