[vtkusers] How to use GetMousePosition??`

[Dimitris Andritsos]

Hello All,

Thank you for your replies.

I ended up using the GetEventPosition since this was the only thing that 
would work. However, the problem is the following: This function will return 
the position of the last mouse click. Therefore, if the mouse has moved from 
the last position that it clicked the annotation will appear in that point 
and the actor that will be highlighted and picked will be the one currently 
below the cursor. Is there a way to go about that? For example would it be 
possible to set as the event for which the position will be returned the 
mouse move?

Thank you very much,
Dimitris
