Using Visual C++ (CLI type) I can place a rectangle of any width and color on the screen where the ends are defined by the calls to
->MouseDown and ->MouseUp. But I'd like to see the rectangle grow while I'm holding the mouseButton down. It seems like I should be doing it within a timer but what do I call from within that time to get the present location of the mouse?

if you like to see the rectangle grow you will habe to work with the MouseMove event. You wil have to the previous rectangle when the mouse position has changed.
Here's a good tutorial.
