    Draw a line...??

    How can I save the first coordinate oldx & oldy, while I'm still
    moving around with the mouse.

    I need to hold down the left button and then drag the mousecursor to another point, and when I release the left button I should draw a line from the first point I was at, to the last point.
    Where the cursor is now...

    -----------------------------------code:

    case ST_DRAW_LINE:
    while(1)
    {
    while(popMouseEvent(p, &event, &button, &x, &y, &xcount, &ycount))
    {
    int oldx = x; int oldy = y;
    if((button & 0x01) == 0x01)
    {
    setcolor(YELLOW);
    line(oldx,oldy,x,y);
    }
    if(event == 4)
    {
    outtextxy (50,35, "LINE: Left button up");
    line(oldx,oldy,x,y);
    goto out2;
    }
    }
    }
    out2:
    menustate = ST_INACTIVE;
    break;
    !G!

    I figured it out...



    case ST_DRAW_LINE:
    while(1)
    {
    while(popMouseEvent(p, &event, &button, &x, &y, &xcount, &ycount))
    {
    if(event == 2)
    {
    int oldx = x; int oldy = y;
    }
    if((button & 0x01) == 0x01)
    {
    setcolor(YELLOW);
    line(oldx,oldy,x,y);
    }
    if(event == 4)
    {
    outtextxy (50,35, "LINE: Left button up");
    line(oldx,oldy,x,y);
    goto out2;
    }
    }
    }
    out2:
    menustate = ST_INACTIVE;
    break;
    !G!

    You should make use of XOR for this.


    curcolor=GetPixel(x,y)
    Line (x,y,x2,y2,curcolor ^ 0xFF); //draws a see through line

    Line (x,y,x2,y2,curcolor ^ 0xFF); //erases the line

    Cursor....

    Tx for your answer.
    That I will sure be needing.

    But can you tell me how to make a cursor, which only will follow the x & y coordinates.

    I have tried with:
    /*-------Mouse Cursor -------------------------------------------*/
    if(button == 0)
    {
    setcolor(CYAN);
    savescreen(x-1,y-1,x+1,y+1,cursor);
    outtextxy(x,y,"*");
    restorescreen(x,y,cursor);
    }

    But theres something wrong.
    I doesn't disappear, but just makes a line of *..
