I created a button class which is version of IconicButton (by cutting and pasting) that does extra things that I need. One of the things that I do is expand the size of my button (actually a collection of my buttons) when running an application that uses it. When I do so only a small area of near the top left corner of my button seems to have focus so then if I click on that area the button works but otherwise it does not.
When I click within my botton's working area <MyButton>>handleEvent: anEvent> is called by <MouseOverHandler>>processMouseOver: anEvent>.
When my button does not work the method <handleEvent: anEvent> is not called because, I believe, the portion of my button that was clicked does not have focus. Note that when my button size is expanded it's position is also changed because other morphs have also expanded but this expansion does not seems to cause confusion as to where the button is because the working focus area remains in the same part of my button. But there appears to be confusion as to the size of my button and its focus area.
Debugging this is a pain. When I set a break point in <MyButton>>handleEvent: anEvent> the emergency handler pops up. when I do a <revert> I get my stack with <MyButton>>handleEvent: anEvent> at the top of the stack. But I have gathered little useful information by looking at this stack. The only solution I can think of is to discard by button (buttons) and reinstantiate them every time they need to be resized.
Is there something that I should be setting when I resize my button so that it's focus area is correct?
Is discarding my buttons and reinsantiating them the only solution?
Any help or insight appreciated.
