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.
