Moving Thy Cursor...

[AmaD]

Right 'ho, I've been on MSDN etcetera and I found that the code (albeit very simple ) To move the cursor on screen is:

Code: Select all

[i]
[/i]BOOL SetCursorPos(      

    int X,
    int Y
);

And so I made an application with the following code half expecting it to work:

Code: Select all

[i]
[/i]#include <iostream>
using namespace std;

int main()
{
 return 0;
}

BOOL SetCursorPos(      

    int 400,
    int 500
);

As you can see, this script has no structure, no anything, and the author has no clue All I want to do is move the cursor to that position (and after the initial move, probably more) Can anyone help me please (I'm very new to C++ you see...)

Add a #include <windows> at the top. Then try adding a line like SetCursorPos(x, y) where x and y are replaced with real values above hte return 0 statement.

thanks for the help I get one error now which is something like

Code: Select all

Cannot open include file: 'windows': No such file or directory
Error executing cl.exe.

with the #Include that you suggested It looks like it could work but it's just something wrong with the include. Thanks for the help again

3 quesions: - Are you using #Include or #include - What compiler and what OS - Does it work if you try windows.h

Hey man I love you. I tried windows.h and tada! It worked! I'm on Windows XP by the way, using Microsoft Visual Basic 6.0 to compile, but I also have a blodshed compiler but I don't like it Thanks ever so much
