Other way to get coordinates

[Arez]

I was wondering if there was a script that could let me press "end" or something and give me the coordinates of wherever my mouse is (besides using your program since I can't use it for games and scroll bars).

HotKeySet and MouseGetPos will serve your purposes.

I try to make my code but it says no

help

HotKeySet ( {END} [, "MouseGetPos()"] )

$pos = MouseGetPos()

MsgBox(0, "Mouse x,y:", $pos[0] & "," & $pos[1])

[gamepin126]

HotKeySet("{END}", "End")

While 1
    Sleep(1000)
WEnd

Func End()
    $mousexy = MouseGetPos()
    ClipPut($mousexy[0] & "," & $mousexy[1])
EndFunc

You can get spiffy and add a tooltip that follows your mouse.

HotKeySet("{END}", "End")

While 1
    $mousePos = MouseGetPos()
    $mouseTxt =  $mousePos[0] & "," & $mousePos[1]
    ToolTip($mouseTxt, $mousePos[0] + 5, $mousePos[1] + 5)
    Sleep(20)
WEnd

Func End()
    $mousexy = MouseGetPos()
    ClipPut($mousexy[0] & "," & $mousexy[1])
EndFunc

Hello,

I'm looking for the best way to get the current mouse position into the clipboard.

Is there a simple way to use a combination of ClipPut and MouseGetPos?

I'd like to just run a script whenever I need to get the absolute screen coordinates (not relative or anything like that for now).

Or perhaps, as in your example here, I could run a script that sort of just keeps running a while loop, and a hotkey to copy the current mouse position to the clipboard?

I supose I'm a little concerned about the while loop running on and on consuming CPU...maybe some sleeps in there...I don't know about that...just something I read somewhere.

The scripts in this thread seem to work well...

I'm just wondering if this is indeed still the best way to do it?

I want the simplest best way...tooltip is not necessary but is nice.

Thanks so much for any ideas about this.
