Hi,
How do I use GetCursorPos in an OpenGL program? (I have no experience in windows programming) I tried to call it in the mouse function and made my test on the pointer.x & pointer.y to see if they are in some area then I wanted to display something (in the display function depending on some boolean variables changed after testing pointer.x & .y) but it didn''t work, Any help?
Thanks!!

Hard to say - might be something else going wrong. One thing to keep in mind is that GetCursorPos always returns coordinates in screen space - maybe you''re testing locations in a different coordinate system (client space, your own OpenGL coords, etc)?
Find what it is at program start, and any changes keep track of what the new position is. I think anytime you change the video mode, the mouse re-centers. Just a though, I haven''t payed that much attention.

Hi,
I''ve fixed my program so now when I point the mouse where I want it to be it makes everything good except one problem.. Flickering!! It''s flickering really bad because I added glutPostRedisplay(); after the condition for checking the mouse coordinate so it will actullay show the result.. If I remove glutPostRedisplay(); there will be no flickering but it wouldn''t show the changes I want it to make. So is there a better way to do this??

i never use glutPostRedisplay
but anyways just keep track of where the mouse is like so
int global_mouse_pos_x;
void mouse_move( int x, inty ) // this is the glut callback
{
global_mouse_pos_x = x;
}
i believe there r 3 mouse callbacks possible.
passive mouse, mouse move with a button, mouse event
