I was updating my mouse library to incorporate a windows API call and was having a heck of a time. So I wrote this little program to get everything straight in my head before incorporating the changes. I thought others might find the code useful.
Note: This will only work with Windows.
If you run the code let me know if you find any of the values off. Everything tests ok with my Windows 7 Pro machine but I know some changes related to DPI were introduced with Windows 10 that may cause these to be inaccurate. Please let me know if this is the case.
