Cursor pos relative to window

[wille480]

Hello. I am trying to get cursor position relative to window. So what i want to be doing is to locate whatever window i am looking for, this i am doing by using the


FindWindowA(NULL, "winTitle");


function. Then i use


ScreenToClient(HWND hwnd, LPPoint point);


to try to get cordinates of that window relative to the screen. I need the cordinates of my given window, so that i can perform consistent mouse clicks to that window. Say if i need to fire a mouse click to the coordinate (100, 100) that is relative to my notepad window. Then i would get cordinates of notepad window, and then do the pseudo following


perform_mouse_down_click(notepad.x + 100, notepad.y + 100);


I have tried to use this code, and all it does is returning -8915849.


while(true)
{
HWND hwnd = FindWindowA(NULL, "Untitled - Notepad");
POINT p;
ScreenToClient(hwnd, &p);
cout << p.x << " : " << p.y << endl;
}


Thanks!

POINT p;
GetCursorPos(&p);
ScreenToClient(FindWindowA(NULL, "Untitled - Notepad"), &p);

Did the trick, no help needed!
