I have the cursor invisible and when a user scrolls over a button it highlights. The problem is when a user is in between buttons, he does not know where his cursor is.
On the mouse leave event I want the cursor to jump to the closest button (not the one he just left)

This is what I have so far, however intercectsWith
does not work with a drawing point
Is there any way for my to check what the closest button is?
I think the interface will be hard to use (especially if the buttons are not large enough), but here's another implementation:
