Gaining the position of the cursor

[bonebreaker]

Hi, maybe noob question but how can i get the id of the inputbox in which the cursor is?

I need it because i have buttons which would send keys to the inputbox in which the cursor is.. I can't do this since when i press the button the the cursor diappears so the only method is to record the cursor position constantly..

thx for the help

Well, I think this is what you want:

$pos = MouseGetPos ()
MsgBox(0,"","X position of mouse = " & $pos[0] & @CRLF & "Y position of mouse = " & $pos[1])

Description of MouseGetPos():

Returns a two-element array that containing the mouse coordinates: $array[0] = X coord (horizontal), $array[1] = Y coord (vertical)

I have not used it, but I think you would use ControlGetFocus()

Can't realy make it work, i would only want to get the control id if its an inputbox, any idea on doing that ?

The other solution would be if buttons couldn't get focus..is that solveable ?

You can get the control id of an inputbox with the helf of "AutoIt Window Info" or with the programme Spy ++.

Or you do this:

$inputbox = InputBox ...

Then $inputbox will be the control id.

I think this may do what you want:

expandcollapse popup

;Control Id from ClassnameNN --eltorro <steve at ocotillo sytes net>
$Gui = GuiCreate("Input Test")
$Input1 = GUICtrlCreateInput("",5,5,100,20)
$Input2 = GuiCtrlCreateInput("",5,25,100,20)
$Input3 =  GuiCtrlCreateInput("",5,50,100,20)
GUISetState()

$lastCNN =""
  
Opt("WinTitleMatchMode",4)
While 1
    $nMsg = GuiGetMsg()
    if $nMsg = -3 then Exit
    $control = ControlGetFocus("Input Test","")
    if StringLeft($control,4) = "Edit" then
        if $lastCNN <> $control Then
            $lastCNN = $control
            ConsoleWrite($control&@LF)
            $cHwnd = ControlGetHandle("Input Test","",$control)
            if $cHwnd Then
            $CtrlId = _GetDlgCtrlID($cHwnd)
            ConsoleWrite("Control ID = "&$CtrlId&@LF)
            EndIf
        EndIf
    EndIf
    
    Switch $nMsg
        Case -3
            Exit
        Case $Input1 
            ConsoleWrite("Control Id ="&$Input1&@LF)
        Case $Input2 
            ConsoleWrite("Control Id ="&$Input2&@LF)
        Case $Input3 
            ConsoleWrite("Control Id ="&$Input3&@LF)
        Case Else
            ;;;
    EndSwitch
    sleep(10)
WEnd
Exit
