[SFML2] Getting mouse position in a sf::RenderWindow

[chrbarrol]

I recently switched over to SFML2 (which I might say has a lot of great features) but while I was trying to get the mouse position in my sf::RenderWindow I noticed that the mouse position code had been rewritten, so as far as I can tell from the documentation the sf::mouse is supposed to return the mouse's position from the window it is focused in.

But when I tried it out, GetPosition would just return the mouse's position on the screen(0,0 was always top left of the screen regardless of what window the cursor was in) I also noticed you could get the position for a specific window but only for a sf::Window and not a sf::RenderWindow. Does anyone know of a way to make this work? I'd rather not write a huge workaround that gets the window's position and normalizes the mouse based on that.

I told Laurent that "GetDesktopPosition" would be a better name

sf::RenderWindow inherits sf::Window, so you can also pass a sf::RenderWindow.

No... it's the online doc which is outdated

-snip- I figured it out. Thanks for the support anyway.
