Description
The function GetToMousePos() is a service function in the Get system which moves the screen cursor to the position of the mouse pointer. The screen cursor is moved by GetToMousePos() only when the user has clicked the left mouse button in the input field of a Get object. The function is normally called only within the Get system. It should be noted that the return value of GetToMousePos() can be greater than the width of the visible input field on the screen, such as when the "@S" PICTURE formatting clause has been used and input has scrolled to the left.
In order for the function to return a meaningful value, SetMouse(.T.) must be called before the first call to READ or ReadModal().
