Re: Mouse position

I believe that ScreenToClient() is the simplest solution for that.

Check out GetClientRect() and AdjustWindowRect as well, those should
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 = WS_POPUP | WS_MAXIMIZE;
else
style = WS_CAPTION | WS_MINIMIZEBOX | WS_VISIBLE;

GetClientRect((HWND)m_WindowHandle, &client);
clientw = client.right;
clienth = 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 = GetWindowArea();
POINT p;
::GetCursorPos(&p);
return CVec2i(p.x - winrec.left, p.y - winrec.top);
}
