I would do it by hiding the mouse and replacing it with a sprite then do something like

if mouseclick()=1
if spritehit(mousenum,buttonum)=1 then do something
endif

Use something like this:

Ofcourse you must change the variables to those you wish to use.

Thats what I thought would be the answer.

Ok so how would I get the mouse image that I or other user are using in windows, in other words use the default mouse image form windows.

On my computer if you go to
C:WINDOWSCursors
it shows you all the cursors.
If you then take a screenshot of your computer (shift+prnt scrn)
you can open it in paint and edit it as you wish

If you work in Full Screen Windowed mode, the Windows cursor will be displayed. Just don't HIDE MOUSE

I know that, I wanted to copy the one the use may be using at anytime and make that the one to use as a sprite.

only want to this because I can't draw any good cusros myself.

IF you wanted to use your own cursor:

(the '1' could be any number)

load image "cursor.bmp",1

do

`..your normal stuff

paste image 1,mousex(),mousey()
sync

loop

or you can use a simple convertor off the internet to change the image into a cursor file and then load that up, i know there are a few freeware ones around,
im not 100% sure but i think mousex() and mousey() slows down frame rate (which could be an important factor later on in you app/program)

You also don't even have to hide the mouse and replace it with a sprite. You would still use a sprite, but hide the sprite instead of the mouse pointer.

or i guess you could make a really small sprite and position it at the end of the cursor.
