Is there any way to trigger the "mouseover" blue highlighting of cockpit controls

Despite having trawled through the SDK docs, I cannot find anything about this…
When Cockpit Interaction Mode is ‘Lock’, moving the mouse over buttons, knobs and other interactive elements of the cockpit will trigger the blue neon mouseover effect (and tooltips if enabled).
I would like to be able to trigger this same mouseover highlighting programmatically.
Where would I begin looking?

Hi there Greg,

I would recommend taking a look at this template in the SDK:

ASOBO_GT_Highlight_Template

https://docs.flightsimulator.com/html/Content_Configuration/Models/ModelBehaviors/TemplateExplorer/Asobo/Generic/Complex/Misc.html#ASOBO_GT_Highlight_Template

That may allow you to highlight a particular node.

Thank you, that does look like what I need.
It looks like I have a long, steep learning curve ahead of me!
