Why won't my buttons activate?

Question

I created a list of buttons in my graphics window and I'm trying to get the buttons to activate, but no matter where I click in my window, Python says that I'm not clicking inside any buttons and they won't activate.

while not ready:
clickPt = win.getMouse()
for button in buttonList:
    if button.isClicked(clickPt):
        button.activate()

Answer 1

You should try to activate the button after you created it rather than after you click on it

Answer 2

The button should be activated right after you make and draw the button, and before getting a click from the mouse.

Ex:

button = Button(Point(10,10),10,10,"Button")
button.draw(window)
button.activate()
ready = False
while not ready:
    clickPt = win.getMouse()
    if button.isClicked(clickPt):
       ready = True

Hope this helps!
