Important Notice

The pages on this site contain documentation for very old MS-DOS software, purely for historical purposes. If you're looking for up-to-date documentation, particularly for programming, you should not rely on the information found here, as it will be woefully out of date.

void MoveCursor(wAbsX, wAbsY)
WORD wAbsX;
WORD wAbsY;
 
The MoveCursor function moves the cursor to the given screen coordinates. If
the cursor is a composite of screen and cursor bitmaps (that is, not a
hardware cursor), this function must ensure that screen bits under the
current cursor position are restored and the bits under the new position are
saved. The function must move the cursor, even if the cursor is not
currently displayed.
 
Parameter  Description
────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
 
wAbsX      Specifies the absolute x-coordinate of the new cursor position.
 
wAbsY      Specifies the absolute y-coordinate of the new cursor position.
 
Return Value
 
This function has no return value.
 
Comments
 
The export ordinal for this function is 103.
 
Microsoft Windows may specify a position at which the cursor shape would lie
partially outside of the display bitmap. The OEM function is responsible for
clipping the cursor shape to the display boundary.
 
The MoveCursor function is called at mouse-interrupt time, outside of the
main thread of Windows processing. Since MoveCursor may even interrupt its
own processing, the device driver should disable interrupts while reading
the wAbsX and wAbsY coordinates by using the EnterCrit and LeaveCrit macros
in the WINDEFS.INC file. Do not use sti and cli instructions in the driver.
