Hi. I have been searching the web for how to make buttons in opengl c++. I want to make a button from either scratch or with the use of a library. I do not want to use glui as I can not place the button in a xy position. If there is any library or code for this. Code for making a button with rectangles and mouse clicks would be great. This have really been a burden to me since I have been searching and trying to learn how to do this for quite some time. I have not started any code on this topic. I know I can make a rectangle and than mouse click functions and finally a visual effect of a button being pressed, though I do not know how to do that. Thanks.
Please send code or a video on how to make a button.

What I have tried:

I have not tried any code yet. I know I can use glut MouseFunc, but I don't know how to make the visual effect. I also don't know how I can use glut MouseFunc as I am knew to this topic.

"I also don't know how I can use glut MouseFunc as I am knew to this topic."
Then you should make use of the documentation and online tutorials to learn how to use it.
