Hi! I was just wondering if there is a easy way to get the mouse cords over the opengl screen? And how to hide the mouse.. I don´t want to use aux or glut.. Thanks //psan

You can find the mouse cords like you can with the virtual keys in winproc. Like:

case WM_MOUSEMOVE:{	mouse_x = LOWORD(lParam);          	mouse_y = HIWORD(lParam);	return 0;}

Oh and to enable and disable the mouse you use ShowCursor();
In the () just use TRUE or FALSE

thx, the showcursor() function workes great, but I can´t get the other to work.. My intelligent guess is that I need to write some other code to get it to work

I´ve checked some webpages about it, maybe i´m stupid, but I can´t see what else I need in my program.

the code i´m refering to is:

case WM_MOUSEMOVE:{	  mouse_x = LOWORD(lParam);          	  mouse_y = HIWORD(lParam);	  return 0;}

edit: think i understand now, had to place it in "WndProc", know i just have to translate those cords to use them as -1,1 opengl cords
