Please Help. Thanks in Advance Ructions

what i did is getting the mouse pos at startup and after each movement-check i''d reset it''s position (GetCursorPos and SetCursorPos), then just hide the mouse cursor and you''re done.

At startup:

POINT p;
GetCursorPos(&p);

the initial cursor pos is now stored in p
when you want to check the mouse movement:

POINT cp;
GetCursorPos(&cp);

the current cursor pos is now stored in cp
movementx = cp.x-p.x
movementy = cp.y-p.y

you now know the mouse movement, reset the cursor pos:

SetCursorPos(&p);
