I think this can help you a little :)
==================================================

MyClass::MyClass()
{
picker = vtkCellPicker::New();
}

void MyClass::SelectPoint(int X, int Y)
{
  float Point[3];
    if(PickPoint(X,Y,Point))
      {
      cout<<"Point("<<Point[0]<<","<<Point[1]<<","<<Point[2]<<")\n";
      renwin->Render();
      }
}

int MyClass::PickPoint(int X,int Y,float Point[3])
{
  float *pos;

  int result = picker->Pick((float)X,(float)Y,0.0,ren);
  if (result)
    {
    pos = picker->GetPickPosition();
    for(int i=0;i<3;i++)
          Point[i] = pos[i];
    return 1;
    }
   
  return 0;
}
