#define INCL_DOSDEVIOCTL
 
USHORT DosDevIOCtl(pusVersion, 0L, 0x006A, 0x0007, hDevice)
PUSHORT pusVersion;    /* pointer to version number */
HFILE hDevice;         /* device handle             */
 
The MOU_VER function returns the version number of the mouse driver.
 
Parameter   Description
────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
 
pusVersion  Points to a data area in which the version number of the mouse
            driver is returned.
 
hDevice     Identifies the pointing device that receives the device-control
            function. This handle must have been created previously by using
            the DosOpen function.
 
Return Value
 
The return value is zero if the function is successful. Otherwise, it is an
error value.
 
Comments
 
The MOU_VER function returns 0x0001 as the version number of the mouse
driver to indicate that the following features are supported. These features
are new for MS OS/2 version 1.2.
 
Function                Change
────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
MOU_DISPLAYMODECHANGE   New IOCtl function.
 
MOU_SETPROTDRAWADDRESS  New pbDrawData parameter.
 
MOU_SETREALDRAWADDRESS  New pvConfig parameter.
 
MOU_UPDATEDISPLAYMODE   New pvConfigInfo parameter.
 
MOU_UPDATEDISPLAYMODE   Size of VIOMODEINFO structure increased from 12 to
                        34 bytes.
 
MOU_VER                 New IOCtl function.
 
The MOU_VER function should be used to determine the version number of the
mouse device driver before any of these features are used, in order to
maintain compatibility with earlier versions of MS OS/2.
