How do I detect when a mouse is moving on its X or Y axis? What are the (basic) different events for mouse movement and mouse clickage? (I''m not at home right now, so I don''t have access to my books and whatnot). Thanks alot! The Light shine on you

What platform, language, and API are you using? Mouse input is rather platform-specific.
On Windows, you can look for WM_MOUSEMOVE messages in your window procedure or use GetCursorPos(). On Linux/XFree86, you can use XQueryPointer() or some other such function.

Sorry for the nondescriptive original question. I''m using Windows(XP) with VC++. I''ll try out WM_MOUSEMOVE on the local machine and see if it fits what I want to do. Thanks for the reply!
