dwCursorPosition: Specifies the column and row coordinates of the cursor in the screen buffer.
wAttributes: Specifies the foreground (text) and background color attributes to be used for characters that are written to a screen buffer by the WriteFile and WriteConsole functions, or echoed to a screen buffer by the ReadFile and ReadConsole functions.
