Failed to hide the cursor in Console?

Question

int main (void) 
{
 //Get a console handle
 HWND myconsole = GetConsoleWindow();

 struct CONSOLE_CURSOR_INFO
 {
  DWORD dwSize;
  BOOL bVisible;
 };
 struct CONSOLE_CURSOR_INFO CURSOR;

 CURSOR.bVisible = FALSE;
 SetConsoleCursorInfo(myconsole, CURSOR);
}

I want to hide the cursor in Console, but failed.

What GCC-mingw32 reports are listed here:

error: request for member 'bVisible' in something not a structure or union
error: incompatible type for argument 2 of 'SetConsoleCursorInfo'

Could anyone help me?

Thanks.

#include <windows.h>
#include <wincon.h>
#include <stdio.h>

int main (void) 
{
 //Get a console handle
 HANDLE myconsole = GetStdHandle(STD_OUTPUT_HANDLE);

/* It is already defined.
 struct CONSOLE_CURSOR_INFO
 {
  DWORD dwSize;
  BOOL bVisible;
 };
*/
 //CONSOLE_CURSOR_INFO is defined type.
 CONSOLE_CURSOR_INFO CURSOR;

 BOOL result;

 CURSOR.dwSize = 1;
 CURSOR.bVisible = FALSE;
 result=SetConsoleCursorInfo(myconsole, &CURSOR);//second argument need pointer
 if(result){//success
   printf("test print\n");
   getch();//wait
 }
 return 0;
}
