[C/++] Get Co-ords

[Guest GoSu.SpeeD]

This is a simple program i made, in conjunction with the "Qigong Training" tool, i had to first get the co-ordinates of the buttons in-game, for which i made this, when you have this program running, it will print the current XY co-ordinates of your cursor, when you press CTRL + E, shown in the screenshot below:

#include <windows.h>

#include "keybd.h"


POINT pos;

int x;

int y;


int main()

{

    while(1)

    {      

        sleep(20);/* wait 20ms between each loop

                     we do this to reduce computer stress */

        

        // if the user presses CTRL + E             

        if (GetAsyncKeyState(CTRL) &0x8000 && GetAsyncKeyState(E) &0x8000)

        {

            GetCursorPos(&pos); // get current cursor position, store it our point structure "pos"

            x = pos.x; // retrieve the x co-ordinate from "pos", place it in the int variable "x"

            y = pos.y; // retrieve the y co-ordinate from "pos" place it in the int variable "y"

            printf("X: %d Y: %d\n", x, y); // print the contents of "x" and "y" which is our co-ordinates :)

            sleep(1000); // wait 1 second

        }

    }

    getchar(); // Pause    

    return 0; // exit

}

the "keybd" header file can be found in my cursor movement post:
