That's rather sloppy cutting and pasting, az!
The prototype for EvtGetPen() is:
void EvtGetPen (Int16 *pScreenX, Int16 *pScreenY, Boolean *pPenDown);
So, you would use something like this:
Int16 ScreenX, ScreenY;
Boolean PenDown;
EvtGetPen(&ScreenX, &ScreenY, &PenDown);
However, most of the time, you want to get the coords when you receive
a tap on the screen, not just at any random time. To do that, you
should add code like this to your form event handler:
case penDownEvent:
// eventP is the EventPtr passed to your form event handler
ScreenX = eventP->screenX;
ScreenY = eventP->screenY;
// <code to do whatever else you want here>
handled = false; // to let controls handle their pen events
break;
