Clicking on an object (for lack of a better word)

[Xixchil]

Whats the best way to make something have one reactions when a region is clicked. Much like when a button is clicked (you can click anywhere on the button and it does the same thing) Doing a button is sort of easier since, as far as I understand, a button is a window in itself.

Is the only way to easily make clickable objects to create a window for them?

If not how can I do this? It would be sufficient for now to know how to do it for squares or rectangels, but I would like to know how to do this for irregular shaped objects as well.

use

PtInRect()

with the rect / square you want (use an array if you have many) and the mouse coods from a WM_LBUTTONDOWN

may need to use

ClientToScreen() to convert to the same 'scale'. ie both with the origin (0,0) at the top left of the screen (not top left of dialog or dialogs client area)
