#define INCL_VIO
 
USHORT VioGetCurPos(pusRow, pusColumn, hvio)
PUSHORT pusRow;       /* pointer to variable for row    */
PUSHORT pusColumn;    /* pointer to variable for column */
HVIO hvio;            /* video handle                   */
 
The VioGetCurPos function retrieves the position of the cursor on the
screen.
 
The VioGetCurPos function is a family API function.
 
Parameter  Description
────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
 
pusRow     Points to the variable that receives the current row position of
           the cursor.
 
pusColumn  Points to the variable that receives the current column position
           of the cursor.
 
hvio       Identifies an advanced video-input-and-output (AVIO) presentation
           space. For AVIO programs, this handle must have been created
           previously using the VioCreatePS function. For other programs,
           hvio must be NULL.
 
Return Value
 
The return value is zero if the function is successful. Otherwise, it is an
error value, which may be the following:
 
     ERROR_VIO_INVALID_HANDLE
 
Example
 
This example calls VioGetCurPos to retrieve the current row-and-column
position of the cursor:
 
USHORT usRow, usColumn;
VioGetCurPos(&usRow,       /* row address    */
    &usColumn,             /* column address */
    0);                    /* video handle   */
