POINT current;
GetCursorPos(& current);

Then current.x/current.y is your position.

If you want to get the world coords of the current mouse position, use gluUnProject(...). When you pass 0.0f for winz you get the world coordinate on the near plane and if you pass 1.0f you get the one on the far plane.

Hope this helps,
