    Put this code in the MouseMove event of the Form.

    Code:
    Private Sub Form_MouseMove(Button As Integer, Shift As Integer, X As Single, Y As Single)
       Cls
       Print X & "," & Y
    End Sub

    Here's some api for getting the position (in pixels) wherever you cursor is, just put a timer on your form and it's interval to something
    Code:
    Private Declare Function GetCursorPos Lib "user32" (lpPoint As POINTAPI) As Long
    Private Declare Function ClientToScreen Lib "user32" (ByVal hwnd As Long, lpPoint As POINTAPI) As Long
    Private Type POINTAPI
            x As Long
            y As Long
    End Type
    
    Private Sub Timer1_Timer()
        Dim pa As POINTAPI
        GetCursorPos pa
        pa.x = -pa.x: pa.y = -pa.y
        ClientToScreen hwnd, pa
        pa.x = -pa.x: pa.y = -pa.y
        Caption = pa.x & "," & pa.y
    End Sub
    Use
    writing software in C++ is like driving rivets into steel beam with a toothpick.
    writing haskell makes your life easier:
    reverse (p (6*9)) where p x|x==0=""|True=chr (48+z): p y where (y,z)=divMod x 13
    To throw away OOP for low level languages is myopia, to keep OOP is hyperopia. To throw away OOP for a high level language is insight.
