Er, by comparing them?

You should add more information to your question. Things like how you're storing the co-ordinates and what you define as 'near'.

Also, are you interested in (potentially several) points that are closer than a certain distance, or are you merely interested in the closest one?

As it stands, your question is barely better than: "How do I fix a car" - in each case, the detail that's lacking makes a useful answer close to impossible.

Solution 1

MAKReddy wrote a nice little program snaps the mouse to the closest coordinates. I'm sure you can use his code to do what you want it to do.
I am working on an application which draws a simple dot grid. I would like the mouse to snap between the points on the grid,[^]

Solution 2

Calculate the
Euclidean distance[^] of all coordinates to the mouse cursor and pick the one with the smallest distance.
