Are you sure that's a valid window handle? Check with IsWindow().

>GetClientRect(hTarget, &rc);

You've not checked the result of this call. Did it work? Oh, be warned -
the resulting rectangle starts at (0, 0), which is the top left of the
screen. You would want to translate this to screen coordinates, using
ClientToScreen().

>hdc = GetDC(hTarget);

Why do you want the DC? Are you drawing?

>ClipCursor(&rc2);

Where does rc2 come from?

>MoveToEx(hdc, rc2.right / 2, rc2.bottom / 2, NULL);      

This is a graphics command, indicating that a following LineTo() (or
some other drawing commands) should draw from this point. But you don't
do the draw command.

Did you mean to move the cursor? SetCursorPos().

Looks reasonable.

>ClipCursor(NULL);
>ReleaseDC(hTarget, hdc);

Ditto. Except that the HDC is almost certainly unwanted.
