Code:

if(GetAsyncKeyState(VK_F12)) {
POINT point;
string points;
string temp;
if(GetCursorPos(&point)) {
sprintf_s(points, 4, "%s", point.x);
strcat(points, ", ");
sprintf_s(temp,3, "%s", point.y);
strcat(points, temp);
MessageBox(NULL, points, "Coords", MB_OK);
}
}

Not sure if that's quite the way to use sprintf_s, but eh. You're getting spoonfed anyway.

I think it would be more efficient to

a) declare point/points globally, so you don't redeclare them each time F12 is hit
b) only use sprintf_s once:

Code:

if (GetCursorPos(&point)) {
sprintf_s(points, 21, "Coordinates: %d, %d", point.x, point.y);
MessageBox(NULL, points, "Mouse Coords", MB_OK);
}

You should also add error support

Code:

..
}
else MessageBox(NULL, "GetCursorPos() failed!", "", MB_OK);

I don't feel like incorporating GetLastError() or whatever in the MessageBox, so oh well.

You can use WM_MOUSEMOVE message as well which will notify you as soon as the mouse is moved. The lParam will contain x and y co-ords. _________________ Cheat Requests/Tables- Fearless Cheat Engine https://fearlessrevolution.com

Revised code.

Code:

POINT point;
string points;
if(GetAsyncKeyState(VK_F12)) {
if(GetCursorPos(&point)) {
sprintf_s(points, "Mouse Coordinates: %d, %d", point.x, point.y);
MessageBox(NULL, points, "Mouse Coords", MB_OK);

}
/*BEGIN OPTIONAL*/
else {
ErrorExit(GetCursorPos);
}
/*END OPTIONAL*/
}

If you want to use GetLastError here's the code for the optional function called in the above code:

Code:

void ErrorExit(LPWSTR lpszFunction)
{
LPVOID lpMsgBuf;
LPVOID lpDisplayBuf;
DWORD dw = GetLastError();

FormatMessage(
FORMAT_MESSAGE_ALLOCATE_BUFFER |
FORMAT_MESSAGE_FROM_SYSTEM |
FORMAT_MESSAGE_IGNORE_INSERTS,
NULL,
dw,
MAKELANGID(LANG_NEUTRAL, SUBLANG_DEFAULT),
(LPTSTR) &lpMsgBuf,
0, NULL );

lpDisplayBuf = (LPVOID)LocalAlloc(LMEM_ZEROINIT,
(lstrlen((LPCTSTR)lpMsgBuf)+lstrlen((LPCTSTR)lpszFunction)+40)*sizeof(TCHAR));
StringCchPrintf((LPTSTR)lpDisplayBuf,
LocalSize(lpDisplayBuf) / sizeof(TCHAR),
TEXT("%s failed with error %d: %s"),
lpszFunction, dw, lpMsgBuf);
MessageBox(NULL, (LPCTSTR)lpDisplayBuf, TEXT("Error"), MB_OK);

LocalFree(lpMsgBuf);
LocalFree(lpDisplayBuf);
ExitProcess(dw);
}
