Simple Mouse 2

[Tooko]

I have two questions. One, when I created a program using DirectDraw, I couldn't hide the mouse. Any suggestions?

Secondly, is there a simple function that returns the X/Y location of the mouse? Preferable in POINT form? MBDYProductions - "Freedome in gaming shouldn't be an extra"

You can catch the WM_MOUSEMOVE message...
here's a link I found searching google

Sorry, that's just for finding the mouse position. There's also mouse capturing functions and stuff.

As to not being able to hide the mouse, I've never used DirectX...

As for hiding the mouse, all you have to do is call SetCursor(NULL). To bring it back later, just call SetCursor(LoadCursor(NULL,IDC_ARROW)).
