What "way"? You always have it as the coordinates of a Window and an image relative to a controls are known to you. Moreover, you never need coordinates relative to screen, you always can use coordinate relative to a control containing animation.

So, you have everything… unless you do "animation without calculating". Frankly, is sounds like "OpenGL without programming", "computer without operating systems" and "marriage without a bride".

Hi sweety,

Do you want to select the objects or images in 3d world??
If so you need to implement the ray tracing, You can search it on web.

Using this technique, wherever you click on the screen , a infinite ray (vector)will be fired and the first object the ray will collide will get selected in 3d world. Then you will have to translate the object back to the screen coordinate system from the 3d coordinate system to get the exact object selection.

Hope this might help you!

cheers,
