Re: [GD-Windows] Mouse position

[Jason M. <ja...@s2...>]

Check out GetClientRect() and AdjustWindowRect as well, those should=20
give you all the info you need.

Here is how we get the mouse position in our game:

CRecti CSystem::GetWindowArea()
{
RECT full, client;
int clientw, clienth;
int style;

if (Vid.IsFullScreen())
style =3D WS_POPUP | WS_MAXIMIZE;
else
style =3D WS_CAPTION | WS_MINIMIZEBOX | WS_VISIBLE;

GetClientRect((HWND)m_WindowHandle, &client);
clientw =3D client.right;
clienth =3D client.bottom;
AdjustWindowRect(&client, style, false);
GetWindowRect((HWND)m_WindowHandle, &full);

return CRecti(full.left - client.left,
full.top - client.top,
full.left - client.left + clientw,
full.top - client.top + clienth);
}


CVec2i CSystem::GetMousePos()
{
CRecti winrec =3D GetWindowArea();
POINT p;
::GetCursorPos(&p);
return CVec2i(p.x - winrec.left, p.y - winrec.top);
}
