GetMessagePos
The GetMessagePos function returns a long value that gives the cursor position in screen
coordinates. This position is the point occupied by the cursor when the last message
retrieved by the GetMessage function occurred.
DWORD GetMessagePos(VOID)
Parameters
This function has no parameters.
Return Values
The return value specifies the x- and y-coordinates of the cursor position.
The x coordinate is in the LOWORD and the y coordinate is in the HIWORD.
Remarks
As noted above, the x-coordinate is in the low-order word of the return value;
the y-coordinate is in the high-order word. If the return value is assigned to
a variable, you can use the MAKEPOINTS macro to obtain a POINTS structure from the return value. You can also use the LOWORD or HIWORD macro to extract the x- or y-coordinate.
To determine the current position of the cursor instead of the position when
the last message occurred, use the GetCursorPos function.

Nostalgia .Net |

.Net is powerful, but not all-powerful, so sometimes we need to use Win32 API for our .Net applications. It's simple enough with Platform Invoke if you have Win32 skill, but we do not always have time to dig the ancient documentation, declare the special types that are compatible with Win32, find the values of the Win32's constants and so on. Nostalgia .Net offers several simple-to-use classes, and components that will allow you to forget about the headache of Win32 and just use the power of Win32 in your application the same way as you use the native. Net classes. More » |
