    Finding coordinates

    It is possible to get the current position of the cursor. Preferably as a coord, but it doesn't really matter. This may belong in Windows programming more than here..but it's pretty basic, so sorry in advance if it's out of place.

    For windows: GetCursorPos. Or you could handle the WM_MOUSEMOVE message specifically for a window. In fact, every windows message gets the mouse coordinates in the MSG structure used by GetMessage or PeekMessage.
