vgui.GetHoveredPanel

  Panel vgui.GetHoveredPanel()

Description

Returns the panel the cursor is hovering above.

This returns a cached value that is only updated after rendering and before the next VGUI Think/Layout pass.

ie. it lags one frame behind panel layout and is completely unhelpful for PANEL:Paint if your panels are moving around under the mouse a lot every frame.

Returns

1 Panel
The panel that the user is currently hovering over with their cursor.
