My main reason for posting this is the fix I came up with for running your game in a window. Basically, however far off the games window would be from 0,0 on the screen, that is how much your cursor would be offset to the bottom right.


If my window was 100 pixels away from 0, 0 (top left of screen) my cursor would be off by 100 pixels, this is a nice fix and a working code snippet.


For anyone asking about mouse menus/GUI's, have fun

POINT Pos;
RECT wRect;
bool showMenu = false;
int cursorx, cursory;

__inline void DoMenu()
{
    if(GetAsyncKeyState(VK_DELETE)&1)
    {
        showMenu = !showMenu;
    }
    if(showMenu)
    {
        //Our ghetto menu item
        Renderer.FillRectD3D(60, 60, 20, 20, 0xFFFFFF00);


        /* This is to correct for a problem with getcursorpos and windowed mode */
        GetWindowRect(hWnd, &wRect);

        //Cursor pos (Pos.x/Pos.y)
        GetCursorPos(&Pos);

        //Windowed correction
        cursorx = Pos.x - wRect.left;
        cursory = Pos.y - wRect.top;
        
        //Draw cursor
        Renderer.DrawTextD3D(cursorx, cursory, 0xFFFF0000, "+", DT_CENTER | DT_VCENTER, 0);

        //Mouse 1
        if(GetAsyncKeyState(0x1)&1)
        {
            if(cursorx > 60 && cursory > 60
                && cursorx < 80 && cursory < 80)
            {
                //Toggle/Action here
            }
        }
    }
}
