mouse input problems

[MattyRobot]

I have been trying to get world coordinates of the cursor position for a program by:

1. getting the top and left position of the client of the window
2. getting the global position of the cursor (GetCursorPos())
3. cursor x - client left and cursor y - client top
4. zoom x and y = client width and height / 100 (the openGL world size in the program)
5. divide cursor pos x and y by zoom x and y

I made it up myself so it may have major errors.
it doesn't work, but am I along the right lines or is there an obvious reason for it not working?

Can you follow up the GetCursorPos() with a call to ScreenToClient()?

yes I will try that...
done, it works exactly the same, but with less code so thanks.
but the problem is the same, am I doing it right?
