How can you go about seperating the X and Y values from a point? I need the coords from GetCursorPos But it comes as a point. Anyone know? Thanks, Matt

The POINT structure has two members: x and y. Just use .x and .y to get the values (or ->x and ->y if you have a pointer).

Using the member selection operators on the POINT struct?

POINT point;BOOL b = GetCursorPos(&point);// error checkingdo_funky_stuff(point.x, point.y);

GetCursorPos MSDN (first result of a google for "GetCursorPos")
