MouseMove in Visual C++

Aug 22nd, 2008

Hey guys,

We're trying to work with a driver program for our robot. If we can grab the x and y coordinates of the Mouse we could send them to the controller for driving. Does anyone know how to capture the mouse movement into an integer?

It is practically impossible to teach good programming style to students that have had prior exposure to Basic; as potential programmers they are mentally mutilated beyond hope of regeneration.

I don't know about visual c++ but the above seems to work in dev-cpp I think.
