Mouse position inside a window


Recommended Posts

I need a quick and simple way to figure out where the mouse is inside of a window not like mousegetpos()

Don't argue with an idiot; people watching may not be able to tell the difference.

Client is the actual window co-ords. If you look at these examples, it might clear it up a little more. :)

hi, first Thanks,

now lets see If i got it: you mean client coordinates in the Examples are where is the client resides from the X,Y declared values? meaning that -28,-54

result is where the client is away from 641,459 ? (the X of the client is away from 641 in -28 pixles, and the Y of client is away -54 from 459) right?

if so, how will it help the guy with his question about where the mouse is? this solution gives where the GUI is from X,Y or not?

If _ScreenToClient resides in the co-ords of the window + witdth and height. :)
