onHighlighted (Selected) events

Hello,

I've been playing out with the new UI system (which is great by the way!), but there's one thing that I'm missing and can't find much about: The UI elements sending "OnHighlighted" (or Selected) event, whenever I hover above them, that I could hook up the same way as I do "onValueChanged" or "onClicked".

I've been thinking about using the custom highlight/press animation on the elements and triggering a function on my script from that will fire the events, but I find that a bit ugly way to do it.

Or is there something I'm missing?

 

You can make a script that implements the IPointerEnterHandler and ISelectHandler interfaces and do whatever logic in there.

Code (CSharp):

1. public class HoverStateScript : MonoBehaviour, IPointerEnterHandler, ISelectHandler
2. {
3.     public void OnPointerEnter(PointerEventData eventData)
4.     {
5.         Debug.Log("Hovered");
6.     }
7.  
8.     public void OnSelect(BaseEventData eventData)
9.     {
10.         Debug.Log("Hovered");
11.     }
12. }

 

Thank you very much, I'll try that!
