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...
