Moving the mouse cursor

Hello.

Is there a way to move to the mouse cursor on the screen using C or C++?
I am using windows vista and Microsoft visual studio 2008.
I am pretty new to C so I don't know much.

I have read previous threads which said that you need to use the windows library "windows.h" though when i copied the code the whole program won't compile saying it won't find it.

Can you please maybe give me a step by step guide?

Thank's a lot.
Giora

On windows the following code will move the mouse cursor.
C++ Syntax (Toggle Plain Text) 
  1. #include <windows.h>
  2.  
  3. int main(void){
  4.   SetCursorPos(50, 50);
  5.   return 0;
  6. }
Of course you will want to play around with that. If you want more detail just ask
