I'm coding a 3d game, and I want to change the yaw for my camera using:

case WM_MOUSEMOVE:
        xPos = (LOWORD(lParam)+(1680/2)); 
        yPos = (HIWORD(lParam)+(1050/2)); 
        graphics.Yaw(xPos);
        SetCursorPos(1680/2 , 1050/2);
        break;

however, in the WndProc method, it causes an infinite loop and constant yaw rotation.

Is there a better way I can set the mouse to the center of the window after catching input, without once again calling the method?

EDIT: I've set the current windows to be the full resolution of my monitor (1680x1050) and I'm not actually using OpenGl, I'm using default windows with Visual studio using the Directx9 libraries.

  • You might need to include more information, such as the windowing/GL toolkit you're using. – Soup Nov 12 '13 at 01:08
  • Ok, so I read up on the SetCursorPos a little more, and turns out it calls this event when it's used, so what other options are there besides SetConsoleCursorPosition, if any? – Ang0 Nov 12 '13 at 01:47
  • Welp, after a little bit more research I have found [this](http://cboard.cprogramming.com/c-programming/42482-setting-cursor-position-c.html), so thanks anyways guys. – Ang0 Nov 12 '13 at 01:52
  • @Ang0, that link talks about setting the *console* cursor position, not the mouse cursor onscreen. – David Nov 12 '13 at 15:05
