I have a custom button that doesn't fill up the entire image file.
How do I set the size of the area that can be clicked.

I haven't actually used the button commands yet but SetVirtualButtonSize()?

That changes the size of the button sprite.
The extra space is still taken into account.

I see what you mean now. Well you could write a manual work around. Just a bit of bounds checking. Some pseudocode:
+ Code Snippet
if GetButtonPressed(button)
    if GetPointerX() < SomeNumber and GetPointerX() > AnotherNumber
       if GetPointerY() < SomeOtherNumber and GetPointerY() > OneMoreNumber
            // events go here
       endif
    endif
endif


Hope that makes sense? You'll have to do a bit of trial and error to work out those numbers though.

Hi

You can make a png and use the transparent area you need to click around the colored button.
