[SFML 2.0] Getting mouse input/coordinates
« on: July 14, 2012, 08:43:31 pm »
Well, I'm trying to learn SFML, and I see that it used to be possible to do write:

"window->GetInput().GetMouseY();" 

but in 2.0, I can't see a replacement. 

Anyone care to let me know how I can get this same information in 2.0?

Take a look at the sf::Mouse class.

To be a bit more precise, it's now sf::Mouse::getPosition().y, if it should be relative to your screen resolution and sf::Mouse::getPosition(window).y, if it should be relative to your window, were window is of type sf::RenderWindow.

Here's the link to the documentation.

Thanks, I don't know why that didn't work the first time I tried it.

Everything's explained in the official tutorial.

I tried the sf::Mouse::getPosition(window).y and for some reason (although the function works OK by the way!) the x and y co-ordinates seem to be the wrong way round

Don't revive old threads for no reason!

Open a new thread, and read this introduction before.

I wasn't 'reviving an old thread' merely passing on a comment that I thought might be of interest to other users!
