What would that calculation look like?

// get the slope of the client area diagonal
RECT rcClient;
GetClientRect(hWnd, &rcClient);
float horiz = (float)rcClient.right;	// Horizontal width in pixels
float vert = (float)rcClient.bottom;	// Vertical height in pixels
slopeRatio = horiz / vert;

// currentX and currentY are declared elsewhere
currentX += 30; // or whatever value you wish to move it
tempY = (float)currentX / slopeRatio;
currentY = (int)tempY;
InvalidateRect(hWnd, nullptr, TRUE);
