Getting the mouse coordinates

[SWakely662]

Hello all,
I have a question which should really be a very simple one. I am writing a
windows program in C that needs to find the coordinates of the mouse at any
point in time. I would have thought that there would be some simple Windows
API function which would return the current position of the mouse. However, I
have not been able to find any such function.

Is there one?

Thanks

void GetCursorPos(lppt)

POINT FAR* lppt; /* address of structure for cursor position */

The GetCursorPos function retrieves the screen coordinates of the cursor's
current position.

Look in the windows API!
You will have to handle the message WM_MOUSEMOVE. It isn't an API
call. Windows will send your program the message when the mouse is
moved, with the coordinates. Look through all of the WM_ messages & see
all the things that windows can notify you of. (WM_ stands for Windows
Message )

Use the GetCursorPos API.
