hello, i just got DirectInput to work correctly, and when i read in the mouse co-ordinates they are zero based when the cursor is in the middle of the screen. what i''m trying to do is convert these coordinates so they are relative to the upper left corner of the screen. anyone have an idea on how i can achieve this? -uncreativ

I''m not sure about the problem, but this should work fine:


	Mouse.x += dims.lX * MouseSensivity / 10;
	Mouse.y += dims.lY * MouseSensivity / 10;

	if (Mouse.x < 0) Mouse.x = 0; // Avoid the mouse-cursor to leave the screen (or another area)
	if (Mouse.y < 0) Mouse.y = 0;
	if (Mouse.x >= 640) Mouse.x = 639;
	if (Mouse.y >= 480) Mouse.y = 479;
