Is there a good way to make a menu system? (ala UT) I could map a picture on a quad and grab the mouse position. Is there a better way? And while I''m at it how to I get the mouse buttons states?

To get your mouse button states, you check for messages in your WndProc function:

WM_USER + 1 : switch (lParam) {

case WM_RBUTTONDOWN :
// Right Mouse Event
break;

case WM_LBUTTONDOWN :
// Left Mouse Event
break;

}

Regarding your menu, you could build a Display List of Textured Triangle Strips for your buttons, with both normal and highlighted states. I''d use that rather than one big quad, but hey, it''s up to you.

Thanks for the info on mouse states. But I don''t quite understand what you said about my menu stuff. I barely know what triangle strips are. Could you please go into a little more detail?

You can emial romka and ask for menudemo.zip and menudemo_scr.zip.
