I''m using C++ to implement a first person view walk through program. I want to use a mouse to control the orientation of the camera. So I want to set the cursor to the center of the window and check the value away from the center after the mouse is moved. However, I don''t know how to set the cursor to the specific position. Can anyone help me???? Thx chikit

Platform? API?

If it''s Win32, look into SetCursorPosition().

He said X Window.

Edit: I don't find anything, and I doubt it is even possible, since the mouse position data is on the client side.
