_WGetCursor( ) API Library Routine

Returns the current output position in the specified window.

Point _WGetCursor(WHANDLE wh)
WHANDLE wh;            /* Window handle. */

Example

The following example creates a window and draws a diagonal pattern of Xs in this window. It positions the cursor before writing each X using _WPosCursor( ), and gets that same position using _WGetCursor( ).
