Getting mouse position (x/y) to vars.

[Nobody/Anonymous]

Inside a case WM_RBUTTONUP, how do i set to variables the exact position of the mouse cursor when the button is released?
Will the cordinates be the same on any windows resolution?

x = LOWORD(lParam));
y = HIWORD(lParam));

Depands on what you mean by same: 400 pixels from the left side is 400 regardless of resolution.

But obviously pixels on a screen vary in postion based upon resolution.

You could use a real world based co-ordinate system; I guess that would allow you to keep positions on the screen the same regardless of resolution.

// Create window...
hwnd = CreateWindowEx(WS_EX_0, g_szAppName, g_szAppName, WS_OVERLAPPED | WS_SYSMENU, (GetSystemMetrics(SM_CXSCREEN) - VUPDATE_WIDTH)/2, (GetSystemMetrics(SM_CYSCREEN)-VUPDATE_HEIGHT)/2, VUPDATE_WIDTH, VUPDATE_HEIGHT, NULL, NULL, hInstance, NULL);
