Using WinGetCaretPos and MouseClick

[Unholy_Pony]

Greetings all,

I'm trying to use WinGetCaretPos and MouseClick in concert. I *think* this should work, but it doesn't. Any ideas would be much appreciated.

;Below this fills out a field and moves the carat into the position to copy the x/y location
SEND("loc{TAB}")

;LOCATION FIELD, I want this to grab the x coord position from the array and put it into the mouseclick below.
Local $aCaretPos3 = WinGetCaretPos()
local $sVariable1 = $aCaretPos3[0]

;plug the variable into the mouseclick. It changes every instance, so it needs to refresh with loop.
_WinWaitActivate("New service work order","")
MouseClick("left",$sVariable1,385,1,0)

;rest of script that works great.

WinGetCaretPos() returns position relative to foreground window but MouseClick() has absolute (desktop) position.

So you have to get position of your window by WinGetPos() and add your caret's X value to window's X value.

Thanks for the response Zedna.  Does using Opt('MouseCoordMode',0)  change that setting?
