How to print mouse coordinates in VC++ Win32 application?

I know ther开发者_高级运维e is a function GetCursorPos and the WM_MOUSEMOVE event but can anybody tell me with example code how best to print the mouse coordinates? I'm not sure how to do this in VC++.

Try this and let me know .

POINT coord;
GetCursorPos(&coord);
cout << "The mouse is at:" << coord.x << coord.y << endl;

As you've mentioned, you can get the instantaneous position of the mouse cursor on the screen using GetCursorPos. Here's a sample:

POINT pt;
if (!GetCursorPos(&pt)) {
    /* ... handle the error ... */
}

You'll need to #include <windows.h> to use this code. Once you have called the function, you can read the mouse coordinates from pt.x and pt.y.

Hope this helps!
