XNA doesn’t automatically show you a mouse pointer within the game window. Solving this is easy. First, you need a position for your mouse. You’ll also need a 2d texture to display as your mouse pointer. Declare this within your game class:<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Texture2D<\/span> m_mouseTexture;<\/p>\n Vector2<\/span> m_mousePos;<\/p>\n<\/div>\n Be sure to initialize it to zero. For simplicity, I also generate a simple red square texture to use as the mouse pointer. I’m doing all of this in the Initialize() function. In my (very short) experience with XNA, you’d want to initialize textures in the LoadContent() function, but this is not loading from a file, so it’s safe to do it all in the Initialize() function like this:<\/p>\n <\/p>\n m_mousePos = Vector2<\/span>.Zero;<\/p>\n <\/p>\n m_mouseTexture = new<\/span> Texture2D<\/span>(graphics.GraphicsDevice, (int<\/span>)POINTSIZE, (int<\/span>)POINTSIZE, 1, TextureUsage<\/span>.None, SurfaceFormat<\/span>.Color);<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Color<\/span>[] texture = new<\/span> Color<\/span>[POINTSIZE * POINTSIZE];<\/p>\n for<\/span> (int<\/span> i = 0; i < texture.Length; ++i)<\/p>\n {<\/p>\n texture[i] = Color<\/span>.Red;<\/p>\n }<\/p>\n m_mouseTexture.SetData(texture);<\/p>\n<\/div>\n Now, in the Update() function, update your mouse position:<\/p>\n <\/p>\n MouseState<\/span> mouseState = Mouse<\/span>.GetState();<\/p>\n m_mousePos.X = mouseState.X;<\/p>\n m_mousePos.Y = mouseState.Y;<\/p>\n<\/div>\n And finally, in the Draw() function, draw your sprite in a spritebatch:<\/p>\n <\/p>\n spriteBatch.Begin();<\/p>\n
