[Python] Detect hovering over a widget and its children in Pyimgui

Is there a smart way to detect mouse events over a parent and all its children at once in PyImGui?

Typically, if I hover a window that contains multiple items (child, button, input_text_multiline, text, ...), I have to track everyone either with imgui.is_item_hovered() or imgui.is_window_hovered() to make sure the event is triggered.

This is what I ended up doing:

import imgui

def draw(self):

hovered = []

def check_hover():
if imgui.is_item_hovered() or imgui.is_window_hovered():
hovered.append(True)

# Start a new ImGui window for the console
with imgui.begin("Console"):
check_hover()

# Get the available size for the text editor region
available_size = imgui.get_content_region_available()

# Begin a child window for scroll synchronization between the line numbers and text
with imgui.begin_child("##scrolling_region", available_size.x, available_size.y,
border=False, flags=imgui.WINDOW_NO_BACKGROUND):
imgui.columns(2)

# Left column: line numbers
imgui.set_column_width(0, 25)
check_hover()

for i in range(len(self.file_line_numbers)):
imgui.text(str(i + 1)) # Display the line numbers

# Right column: The multiline text editor
imgui.next_column()
text_changed, text_lines = imgui.input_text_multiline(
"##editor", self.file_content, len(self.file_line_numbers),
available_size.x, available_size.y)
if text_changed: # If the text was changed, update the original list of lines
self.file_content = text_lines #.splitlines(keepends=True) # Split back into lines
check_hover()

if imgui.button("Load"):
self.load_file()
imgui.same_line()
if imgui.button("Save"):
self.save_file(self.file_content)
check_hover()


if any(hovered): # if at least one of the items is hovered
self.is_hovered = True
print("console hovered")
else:
self.is_hovered = False
