Thread: Mouse Program

k ill try that thx

Or you can just TextOut/DrawText the buffer you sprintf'ed in your last code in your WindowProcedure.

Code:

	case WM_PAINT:
	{
		char str[256];
		POINT cursorPos;
		HDC hDC;
		PAINTSTRUCT pS;

		hDC = BeginPaint(hWnd, &pS);

		GetCursorPos(..);
		sprintf(str, ..);
		TextOut(hDC, x, y, str, strlen(str));

		EndPaint(hwnd, &pS);
		break;
	}

thats works but how can i out that in a loop so it works when i move the mouse?

Use WM_MOUSEMOVE instead of WM_PAINT, and then use GetDC and ReleaseDC instead of BeginPaint and EndPaint.

well that got rid of the blingking but it still only works while the crurser inside the window.

I tried to do it on one way, it worked but I really don't recommend you to use it. Though, if you want the code, I'll post it.

k i would like to see the code i might be able to build of it

Put this in your WINAPI WinMain, now your program also reacts when your mouse isn't on your window:

PHP Code:

for ( ; ; )
    {

        if ( PeekMessage ( & msg, NULL, 0, 0, PM_REMOVE ) )
        {

            if ( msg.message == WM_QUIT )
            {

                break;
            }

            TranslateMessage ( & msg );

            DispatchMessage ( & msg );
        }

        else
        {

            Mouse_Pos();
        }

        Sleep ( 10 );
    } 


I used an Edit class window to write the mouse position to:

PHP Code:

void Mouse_Pos()
{

    POINT Cursor_Pos;

    GetCursorPos ( & Cursor_Pos );

    char Cursor_X [ 256 ],
         Cursor_Y [ 256 ];

    itoa ( Cursor_Pos.x, Cursor_X, 10 );

    itoa ( Cursor_Pos.y, Cursor_Y, 10 );

    strcat ( Cursor_X, "   " );

    strcat ( Cursor_X, Cursor_Y );

    HWND Main,
         Edit;

    Main = FindWindow ( "YourMainWindowClass", "YourMainWindowCaption" );

    Edit = FindWindowEx ( Main, NULL, "Edit", NULL );//To find the Edit class window on your main window

    SendMessage ( Edit, WM_SETTEXT, ( WPARAM ) strlen ( Cursor_X ), ( LPARAM ) Cursor_X );
} 


As I said before, there are many ways to do this better, I wouldn't use it like this but this may give you some ideas.
