POINT_TYPE Structure

Type POINT_TYPE
  x As Long
  y As Long
End Type

Description & Usage

The POINT_TYPE structure holds the (x,y) coordinate of a point. This structure is used throughout the API for storing the coordinates of a point.

Visual Basic-Specific Issues

Officially, this structure is called POINT. However, that violates the case-sensitive name spacing of Visual Basic because Visual Basic contains an intrinsic function called Point. The Windows API Guide calls this structure POINT_TYPE to avoid the naming collision. (Microsoft instead likes to call this structure POINT_API in Visual Basic contexts.)

Data Members

x

The x coordinate of the point.

y

The y coordinate of the point.
