How can I obtain the mouse cursor's position relative to a window's position in Visual C++? I can't use GetCursor() because it retrieves the position relative to the screen. Maybe I could use this function if I perhaps knew how to retrieve my window's position relative to the screen... Anyone?

POINT pt;
GetCursorPos(&pt);
ScreenToClient(hWnd, &pt);

Bwahaha! You have inadvertently helped me as well! This ScreenToClient() is a nice function. [smile]
