Is it possible to detect which GUIStyleState is used?

Question

Say I'm drawing a GUI.Button. Is it possible to tell if that Button will use the normal, hover, or any other GUIStyleState from the GUIStyle I give it?

I understand how the GUIStyle sets up each state, what I need to do is detect what the state will be for the current frame.

Answering for posterity:

No, there is nothing in the API that lets you detect which state Unity decided to go with.

You can't exactly choose how to show your button, it depends on which state the button is currently is.

More details here (from Unity Script Reference on GUIStyle):

normal: Rendering settings for when the component is displayed normally.

hover: Rendering settings for when the mouse is hovering over the control

active: Rendering settings for when the control is pressed down.

onNormal: Rendering settings for when the control is turned on.

onHover: Rendering settings for when the control is turned on and the mouse is hovering it.

onActive: Rendering settings for when the element is turned on and pressed down.

focused: Rendering settings for when the element has keyboard focus.

onFocused: Rendering settings for when the element has keyboard and is turned on.

I didn't mean to set the style, I just need to detect which GUIStyleState Unity decided to use.
