DWORD GetMessagePos(void) |
The GetMessagePos function returns a long value that represents a cursor position, in screen coordinates. This position is the point occupied by the cursor when the last message retrieved by the GetMessage function occurred.
This function has no parameters.
The return value specifies the x- and y-coordinates of the cursor position if the function is successful.
To retrieve the current position of the cursor instead of the position at the time the last message occurred, use the GetCursorPos function.
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 MAKEPOINT macro to obtain a POINT structure from the return value. You can also use the LOWORD or HIWORD macro to extract the x- or the y-coordinate.
