Hello,
Maby this is a stupid question, but how do I retrieve the actual mouse
position coordinates from my Form?
Do I have to place some mouse component on it?
Thanks
Henk

Hi,
coordinates of a cursor. For example:
int XX = Mouse->CursorPos.x;
int YY = Mouse->CursorPos.y;
You don't need any component for this.
Bye,
Alexander

I see that mouse coords are according display-size settings.
Is it possible to retrieve the actual screensize (like 1280 * 1024 or so) ?
thanks
Henk

I will answer myself...
I found the 'Screen' variable like the 'Mouse' one!

and then translate the mouse position from screen relative
point to a control relative point using ScreenToClient. For
example:
TPoint P;
::GetCursorPos( &P );
P = ScreenToClient( P );
Mouse->CursorPos may be the same (I hope it is) but IIRC, when
I used it with:
Application->ActivateHint( Mouse->CursorPos );
the hint displayed at the tail of the mouse instead of the hot
spot. Perhaps that's a feature of the hint but I know that the
above works correctly.
