How to get the cursor position

I want to know how to get the cursor position on Windows in c++, Reasons: I try to move the mouse position on X Y coordinate with the screen information e.g: i want to set the mouse position in the offset x:576 y:854 on the screen. The only method that I found for do that is: ``` mouse_event(MOUSEEVENTF_ABSOLUTE|MOUSEEVENTF_MOVE|MOUSEEVENTF_LEFTDOWN,x,y,0,0); ``` Normally the flag MOUSEEVENTF_ABSOLUTE is to do that but it doesn't work, that's why i try to get the absolute position of the mouse and try to calculate that ! Thank you for your answer !
