I need to return the value of the mouse in relation to the directx screen - however, the mousex and mousey values seem to freeze as soon as the cursor moves over a gadget. I know that mouseposx and mouseposy will return coordinates while the cursor is over a gadget, but they give windows values, not directx values (ie. they are different).

Unless I figure it out myself first, does anyone know off hand a solution to this?

Thanks!

Not to worry - problem solved.

Anyone who encounters the same problem, this is how to convert mouseposx (the mouse coordinates relative to the desktop) into mousex (the mouse coordinates relative to the directx screen):

+ Code Snippet

#include "gui.dba"
startBlue "***","******"

desktop=creategadgetfromwindow(desktopwindow())
desktopwidth=gadgetwidth(desktop)
desktopheight=gadgetheight(desktop)
deletegadget desktop
sw#=screen width()
sh#=screen height()
ratiox#=desktopwidth/sw#
ratioy#=desktopheight/sh#



do
cls

mpx#=mouseposx()
mpy#=mouseposy()

text 0,0,"x:"+str$(mousex())
text 0,20,"y:"+str$(mousey())
text 0,80,"mousex:"+str$(int(mpx#/ratiox#))
text 0,100,"mousey:"+str$(int(mpy#/ratioy#))

I needed this solution about...ooh, must be 2 or 3 years ago now! I had these issues with Smart Particles.

Thanks for sharing, I may need it again shortly.
