GetMessagePos

  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.

Parameters

This function has no parameters.

Return Value

The return value specifies the x- and y-coordinates of the cursor position if the function is successful.

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 the y-coordinate.

Comments

To obtain the current position of the cursor instead of the position when the last message occurred, use the GetCursorPos function.
