Get current cursor position

Question

I want to get the current mouse position of the window  and assign it to 2 variables x and y  co-ordinates relative to the window  not to the screen as a whole    I m using Win32 and C     And a quick bonus question  how would you go about hiding the cursor unhiding it

GetCursorPos   will return to you the x y if you pass in a pointer to a POINT structure  Hiding the cursor can be done with ShowCursor

You get the cursor position by calling GetCursorPos   POINT p  if  GetCursorPos  amp p           cursor position now in p x and p y     This returns the cursor position relative to screen coordinates   Call ScreenToClient to map to window coordinates   if  ScreenToClient hwnd   amp p           p x and p y are now relative to hwnd s client area       You hide and show the cursor with ShowCursor   ShowCursor FALSE    hides the cursor ShowCursor TRUE    shows it again   You must ensure that every call to hide the cursor is matched by one that shows it again
