I can determine the cursor position but how can I change it?

Start a new project using File | New Application.

Add a Button. Edit its OnClick event:

void __fastcall TForm1::Button1Click(TObject *Sender)

{

SetCursorPos(0, 0);

}

The Win32 API function SetCursorPos allows you to set the cursor position.

Notes

· The cursor coordinates are screen based and not client based: the (0, 0) point is in the top left corner of the screen not the form.
