How do I get the cursor location in OpenGL?

Is there a simple way to get the x,y cursor location at any point with OpenGL without using glutPassiveMotionFunc() to track it? Thanks...

No. OpenGL is not meant to give you such information. If you are using Windows, you can use GetCursorPos.

But I would suggest you to track it since it makes it cross platform. You will also need to use glutMotionFunc to track mouse position when a mouse button is pushed.
