Help a newb figure this out

[TheRealAmaD]

Right 'ho,

I've been on MSDN etcetera and I found that the code (albeit very simple ) To move the cursor on screen is:

BOOL SetCursorPos(

int X,
int Y
);

And so I made an application with the following code half expecting it to work:

#include <iostream>
using namespace std;

int main()
{
return 0;
}

BOOL SetCursorPos(

int 400,
int 500
);

As you can see, this script has no structure, no anything, and the author has no clue

All I want to do is move the cursor to that position (and after the initial move, probably more)

Can anyone help me please

Forums like these aren't the best way to learn an entire language from scratch. Give a hoot - read a book.

BOOL SetCursorPos(      

    int X,
    int Y
);

looks like the declaration of a function that sets the cursor position.

To actually set the cursor position, you should call this function.
