It's really quite simple, each loop check for a mouse click. If the mouse is clicked get the location of the mouse and compare that with the location and size of the button. If the mouse is inside the button location, perform whatever action you want the button to do. That includes special effects such as highlighting the button text, displaying a 'down' button image, etc.

Most programming is just taking bigger problems and reducing them to simple steps.

The X and Y Positions refer to the center of the button...

The question is, why am I talking to myself? ...... And more importantly, why am I waiting for a reply?
