Make use of AutoIt Window Info tool when automating.

#include <GUIListView.au3>

Run("explorer.exe /select," & @ScriptFullPath)
WinWaitActive("[Class:CabinetWClass]","",5000)
$hLV = ControlGetHandle("","","[Class:SysListView32;Instance:1]")
$aRect = _GUICtrlListView_GetItemRect($hLV, _GUICtrlListView_GetSelectedIndices($hLV))
MsgBox(0, '', $aRect[0] & "," & $aRect[1] & "; " & $aRect[2] & "," & $aRect[3])

Exit

You are not even trying.

It gives coordinates of the selected item rectangle. Relative to the listview window. What you would see in Window Info tool under Control tab as "ControlClick coords".

I m really sorry , i m newbie and i m unaware of the auto winodw info tool theni found it gives those coordinates .

I m trying to set Opt("MouseCoordMode",0)

Sets the way coords are used in the mouse functions, either absolute coords or coords relative to the current active window:

0 = relative coords to the active window

1 = absolute screen coordinates (default)

2 = relative coords to the client area of the active window

I tried to set the same above command but still it takes the screen size only.
