I want to be able to click on things in the simulator and get the x/y coordinates, etc.

When I click things in the simulator, I get SCREEN_EVENT_POINTER events rather than SCREEN_EVENT_MTOUCH_TOUCH events.

I expect I can do:

screen_get_event_property_iv(screen_event, SCREEN_PROPERTY_POSITION, ...);

But I can't seem to find any documentation that says what type of struct needs to be passed as the last argument.

This appears to be the most relevant documentation:

https://bdsc.webapps.blackberry.com/native/reference/com.qnx.doc.screen.lib_ref/topic/rscreen_get_ev...

... but it doesn't make any indication.

my guess is you should use 

screen_get_event_property_pv()

and interpreting results as an array of two long integers.

Gave that a try, but no such luck. Thanks for the suggestion.

When using SCREEN_PROPERTY_POSITION, it expects an array of 2 integers to be passed as the last argument.

Sorry, just realized that SCREEN_PROPERTY_POSITION is to set the position of the window. To get the position, you probably want to get SCREEN_PROPERTY_SOURCE_POSITION. Try that and see how you make out.

Like:

int x[2];
screen_get_event_property_pv( ev, pname, &x );

 right?
