Use GetCursorPos.
POINT pt;
GetCursorPos(&pt);
ScreenToClient(&pt);
CRect rcTarget;
GetClientRect(&rcTarget);
BOOL b = rcTarget.PtInRect(pt);

I'm assuming image will be hosted on some window.

Capturing the mouse means that all of its movement and click-related messages gets sent to a particular window/control even if the mouse is not over that control. For example, if you click and hold down the mouse button on a normal button control, and while holding it down, move the mouse over an edit control, the mouse cursor will not (or is not supposed to) change to an "I-Bar". This is because the button control has "captured the mouse" when you clicked-down on it, so the other controls will not react to it.
(As an aside, correct mouse capture is a hard thing to get working correctly in some 3rd-party GUI libraries.)
It sounds like you want to just know when the mouse of over your image? If so, the control used to display the image (if you are not drawing it indirectly yourself) should get WM_MOUSEMOVE messages when the mouse moves over the control, and you can get the cursor location at that point to determine where in the image the mouse is located at.

I'm trying to use Message IPCs (PostMessage and GetMessage) to broadcast a message from one process to other processes. These are plain console process without Windows.
I was wondering if it is possible at all to do so.
Here is the code snap, which broadcasts message and then rcv in same process. First i'm trying to do it in same process to check if it works at all?
int main()
{
UINT uTestMsg; // message identifier
uTestMsg = RegisterWindowMessage("mess");
PostMessage(HWND_BROADCAST, uTestMsg , 0, 0);
Sleep(100);
BOOL bRet;
MSG msg;
while(1)
{
bRet = GetMessage( &msg, NULL,0,0);
cout << endl <<"bRet = " << bRet << endl;
}
return 0;
}

Well, generally in order to send a message, you need to send it somewhere. This is usually some kind of window. In order to receive a message, you need a message pump that is associated with... you guessed it! A window!
Your console application(s) (if you have the source code for them), can create an invisible window with a specific class and/or name so you can locate them and send them messages.
You may want to look into other IPC mechanisms such as named pipes or a shared memory area (memory mapped file backed by the paging file). No, I cannot provide source code for this, or take the place of a simple CodeProject, Google or MSDN search for the terms: Named Pipe, but you have a place to start.
Oh, and be patient when waiting for a response - the people that help out here do not get paid to help you out, we do so at our pleasure, not yours. If you want to demand things, feel free to pay for the right to do so. (And my short-term rates start at $80/hour with a 4-hour minimum, and that includes the CP-Newbie discount.  )

Thanks James.
I better switch to traditional IPC mechanism than trying to play with Bill Gates' brain
I beat you all in rates. $5/hr. Free Support and 24x7 availability. You won't find such cheap rates north of Thames.

Hi
I am using LoadBitmap() to load a bitmap,but it was not showing the actual resolution when the application runs. Is there any other method to load the bitmap with out affecting the resolution.
Thanx in advance....

Go to the resource editor. Right click the bitmap and go to properties. In the color property change 16 to 256 or true color and then you would be able to use the bitmap.
Since as per your query it seemed that you were having a problem with the displaying of the bitmap in destorted form, try this.
I hope this helps

If you are unable to render the files in their native format, you might want to be looking into finding some kind of conversion utility to convert them into a format you can use.

Look up the PlaySound(...) function in MSDN - that will give you an example of how to play a sound using a small amount of code.

I tempted to tell you that,
but it will definitely hamper your growth as professional. No offense intended. But,consider this as advice, MSDN is best soultion to 90 % of problems. But, you are not using it at all. And its very annoying, if you are asking such a question, that could be easily solved on your own. it makes clear that, you dont want/or dont have time to read carefully. Learn to explore things on your own, this is how you will catch up the fast changing technologies.
In this particular case, all information about compatibility of API will be avilable at Requirements section, down below in MSDN description of that API.

You need to have windows multimedia installed for that. I think its there on your machine. Just mention winmm.lib in linker option.

Hi,
i try to give my application a touch of beauty LOL
At the moment it flickers a lot. I tried to put ModifyStyle(0,WS_CLIPCHILDREN); into my base View
All my views are derived from UniView which is derived from CFormView. I added CLIP_CHILDREN to UniView.
The view doesn't flicker anymore, and the controls slides smoothly 
But there is still a little problem. The background of the view will not be redrawn.
So the background is filled with "old control textures"
I tried already UpdateWindow() at the end of the Sizing, but without effect
Does anyone known a solution?
Big thanks

Some times, handling WM_ERASEBKGND to return TRUE(do nothing there) does the trick.
