This function moves the cursor to the specified screen coordinates. If the new coordinates are not within the screen rectangle set by the most recent ClipCursorfunction, Windows Mobile automatically adjusts the coordinates so the cursor stays within the rectangle.

Syntax 

BOOL SetCursorPos( 
  int 
x, 
  int 
y
);

Parameters

x

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

y

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

Return Value

Nonzero indicates success. Zero indicates failure. 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.

Requirements

Header winuser.h
Library Cursor.lib, Mcursor.lib
Windows Embedded CE Windows CE 1.0 and later
Windows Mobile Windows Mobile Version 5.0 and later
