Hey there,
In my tool plugin i have to draw sth. depending on the mouse position on the editor.
so i use the GetCursorInfo() function to find out about mouseposition.
from this i want the editor to do a redraw.
this works with EventAdd() but then GetCursorInfo() is called on and on again... resulting in a loop.

How can i initialize a redraw without GetCursorInfo() beeing called?

or am i overlooking sth. ?

thanks

See if you use DrawViews instead of EventAdd

Thanks for the fast Answer, but it's no difference with DrawViews

I'd like to do something like the inbuilt highlighting of points when hovering over it.
Is there another solution for this than GetCursorInfo() ?

You need to look at SpecialEventAdd(EVMSG_UPDATEHIGHLIGHT) and draw only into the highlight pass.

Where exactly do you call SpecialEventAdd() in this case? I take it that you check for DRAWFLAGS_HIGHLIGHT in ToolData::Draw() to do the highlighting into the editor and return DRAW_HIGHLIGHTS. A simple, skeletal code example would launch fleets, armies, and victory parades...
