You don't seem to initialise mypoint. Is that ok? How about: POINT mypoint; (void)GetCursorPos(&mypoint); x = (int)(mypoint.x); y = (int)(mypoint.y); >I am trying to implement timers in NewEra for the bubble sort of help.. >did any one manage yet ?? I have seen and tested some timer code done by stuarth@informix.com. E-mail him for a copy. Be careful when using timers though because if the application is doing some sql while the timer goes off it causes wierd results.
