SetCursorPos info  Overview  Group

The SetCursorPos function moves the cursor to the specified screen coordinates. If the new coordinates are not within the screen rectangle set by the most recent ClipCursor function, Windows automatically adjusts the coordinates so that the cursor stays within the rectangle.

BOOL SetCursorPos(

int X,	// horizontal position
int Y	// vertical position
);

Parameters

X

Specifies the new x-coordinate, in screen coordinates, of the cursor.

Y

Specifies the new y-coordinate, in screen coordinates, of the cursor.

Return Values

If the function succeeds, the return value is nonzero.

If the function fails, the return value is zero. To get extended error information, call GetLastError.

Remarks

The cursor is a shared resource. A window should move the cursor only when the cursor is in its client area.

The calling process must have WINSTA_WRITEATTRIBUTES access to the window station.
