SetCursorPos() arguments don't exept POINT vars?

It reads the mouse pos and yet when I use ptMouseNew in SetCursorPos(), it doesn't work. Why not? My only guess is that the var POINT and the var int may not be compadable. All though my Compiler (Dev-C++) doesn't catch any errors.

Code:

---

        ptMouseNew.x = GET_X_LPARAM(lParam);
        ptMouseNew.y = GET_Y_LPARAM(lParam);
        SetCursorPos(ptMouseNew.x, ptMouseNew.y);

What message are you handling?

SetCursorPos takes screen coordinates, are you sure you want this?

Yes I do, I also want it to read the cursors pos acording to the screen coordinates.

Doing this on Windows NT/2000/XP?
MSDN says:
"The calling process must have WINSTA_WRITEATTRIBUTES access to the window station."

You'll need GetProcessWindowStation and OpenWindowStation if that's the problem.

Security, eh? :rolleyes:

I use something like......

Code:

---

POINTS  ptsMouse;//two short ints
POINT    ptScreen;//two ints

//get mouse coods relative to client
ptsMouse=MAKEPOINTS(lParam);
//convert to a POINT
POINTSTOPOINT(ptScreen,ptsMouse);
//convert to Screen coods
ClientToScreen(hWnd,ptScreen);
//move the mouse
SetCursorPos(ptScreen.x,ptScreen.y);

---

Okay, I figured it out.

Code:

---

        GetCursorPos(&pt);
        ScreenToClient(hwnd, &pt);
