p is initialised by the strtol() function.

A base of zero is special and allows input as hex, octal, and decimal:

From the strtol man page:

If base is zero or 16, the string may then include a "0x" prefix, and the number will be read in base 16; otherwise, a zero base is taken as 10 (decimal) unless the next character is '0', in which case it is taken as 8 (octal).

I don't know that control. You have to check the documentation if there is a similar function. If not, you have to implement it yourself using the metrics of the used font.

You have to get the character position (buffer offset) from the mouse position. This requires knowing the page and line offsets when scrolled, the line height, and the character width (with fixed width fonts). With proportional fonts it is more complicated but there are Windows API functions for such calculations. The keyword is "text metrics".
