How can I create a Menu Interface Using DirectDraw?

A Mouse-over button just checks whether the current cursor is over the menu rectangle and if so it displays the Highlighted MenuBitmap to show selection.

Then it checks whether the user has also pressed the MouseButton and if so it takes appropriate action. In the following sample "Menu.zip" the 'Exit' menu gets highlighted when the user moves the cursor over it. And the application quits when the user presses the 'Exit' MenuButton.

The following code can be used to check whether Mouse is in the menu Rectangle

if ( 
	   (m_CursorPoint.x > MenuLeft && m_CursorPoint.x < MenuRight) && 
	   (m_CursorPoint.y > MenuTop && m_CursorPoint.y < MenuBottom) 	   
	 )
