Array problem

[liquidfluid 0]

I have been using autoit (AutoIt v3 on Windows 7, x64) for about 15 minutes so probably I am doing some really silly error, but anyways:

$info = GUIGetCursorInfo() ; this function should return an array right?
$x = $info[0]
$y = $info[1]

$str = StringFormat("x = %d\ny = %d\n", $x, $y)

MsgBox ( 0, "Mouse Position", $str) ; print cursor x,y

I get this error:

C:\Users\Pietro\Projects\autoit\try.au3 (3) : ==> Subscript used with non-Array variable.:
$x = $info[0]
$x = $info^ ERROR
>Exit code: 1    Time: 0.232

How is this possible?

EDIT:

This works:

$info = MouseGetPos()

$x = $info[0]
$y = $info[1]

$str = StringFormat("x = %d\ny = %d\n", $x, $y)

MsgBox ( 0, "Mouse Position", $str)

still, I don't get why the other one doesn't

liquidfluid,

Welcome to the AutoIt forum.

How is this possible?

A couple of possible reasons from the Help file for GUIGetCursorInfo to fail:

- "The mouse cursor position is successful only on an window created by a GUICreate"

- "When no winhandle it will be successful if the GUI Windows is active"

So I would strongly suggest that you add your GUI handle as the parameter - the handle is the value returned by GUICreate.

If you still do not get an aray returned, please post your code so we can delve deeper!

P.S. When you post code please use Code tags. Put [autoit ] before and [/autoit ] after your posted code (but omit the trailing space - it is only there so the tags display here). Or press the blue button just under the BOLD toolbar button.
