Scaling mouse movements

I am programming a vector drawing program, using interactive drawing with a mouse. It works really well until I try to scale the drawing. Then the mouse cooridinates are not using the same scale as the existing drawing.

So I nned to scale the mouse movement based on the scale of the drawing.

Is there an easy way to do this ?

cheers,

i'm assuming by nn'd you ment mm'd... OpenGL doesn't provide anything more than a low level graphics api, you're pretty much on your own to find a solution to any input related problems. In the same situation I personally would manually transform the mouse as well...

I think your own the right track, there is not eacy way to do it.

You have to scale the mouse movement based on the screen scale.

I tried this some time ago for dragging/picking objects on the screen. But failed to get it to map exactly and couldn;t stop the points/mouse from drifting apart.
