Getting Coordinates within a Window

[Raskus]

I'm currently trying to automate a simple browsing program that will continually skip through images on a site in the background while I'm doing other things on my computer. I know there are simpler alternatives like Tab + Enter to skip to the next image but something that really irked me was getting controlclick to work properly. I've searched up and down and can't find a straight forward way to get coordinates(static) within a window. I want to be able to move the window around,minimize it possibly, etc. Are there any simple scripts or commands for getting window coordinates?

If I'm not mistaken, "Au3Record.exe" does that exactly.

you can find it in:

C:\Program Files\AutoIt3\Extras\Au3Record

Give it a try

Look at WinGetPos and WinMove

Thanks so much guys. I'll check it out.

Eh, It gives mouse coords in relation to the desktop, not the active window. This really is a pain, you'd think it would be such a simple thing to find out xD.

WinGetPos Retrieves the position and size of a given window.

MouseCoordMode is something you ought to look at.

Yeah guys, controlclick seems to be the issue. It's just not clicking the window, inactive or active. Thanks for the help though, I learned a few things thanks to you.
