How to get cordinate of top left pixel in client area of RenderWindow?
« on: January 11, 2013, 08:41:11 am »
I found that Mouse::getPosition() returns window space, you can subtract window.getPosition() but its off by the boarders of the window I think.  How to get this right?

So you need Mouse::getPosition(window) (read the doc and tutorials please).

Yea thank you.  I was doing a search and found that.  Seems like it would be useful if you had a method on window class to get the client rect, for other programming problems.

Such as...?

The client rect is useful only if you have desktop coordinates. The only function that returns desktop coordinates is Mouse::getPosition(), and it already has an overload to get client coordinates. So I don't think that such a function would be useful at all.
