Translates a point in screen-relative coordinates to window-relative coordinates.

void _GlobalToLocal(Point FAR *pt, WHANDLE wh)
Point FAR *pt;               /* Point. */
WHANDLE wh;            /* Window handle. */

Remarks

Before calling _GlobalToLocal(В ), call _FindWindow(В ) to determine which window owns the point.

For more information on how to create an API library and integrate it with Visual FoxPro, see Accessing the Visual FoxPro API.

Example

The following example waits for a left mouse button click and then uses _FindWindow(В ) to get the window handle for the mouse position. _GlobalToLocal(В ) takes both the window handle and the absolute mouse position as parameters, and returns the mouse position to a position relative to the window.
