How can I get clickable buttons working in SFML? I've failed figuring it out on my own. At first I tried just putting in text and then I tried an image for the Exit button. Neither of them work in the sf::Event::MouseMoved event. I want the exit button to highlight a different color when I mouse over it but it just flickers everytimeevery time the mouse moves whether its in the coordinates or not. Also, doing a sf::FloatRect = exitButtonImage.getRect(); seems to not work either.

std::cout << "Error: Could not display Alaskan Wilderness image" << std::endl;
backgroundImage.setTexture(background);

exitButtonImage.setPosition(50.0f, 500.0f);
float exitButtonWidth = exitButtonImage.getLocalBounds().width;
