Global External Function : GetCursorPos()

[juggyjuggy]

I tried the example at this page :

http://www.rgagnon.com/pbdetails/pb-0052.html

I have PB7 + WinNT.
I entered the code like in the example, but when I type GetCursorPos(lstr_point),
PB compiler prompts me with the error of that last command GetCursorPos(lstr_point)
(0005) : Error C0174: Type of actual parameter cannot be ancestor of formal reference parameter type

I already posted this on the newsgroup of sybase, but with no response ...

Thanks in advance,
J.

OK i figured it out ...

For whom it interests

My mistake was that I declared the function GLOBAL and not LOCAL.
Structures are only visible LOCALLY in the object where it is declared.

It works now !
