Input box for mouse position

[jimmyjoe]

I guess Im not wording this right for search engine. I want to make an input box to ask the user to click on a certain spot on their screen and the coords under the mouse be recorded as a variable for other use in the script. This is so screen resolution is no factor in the script. How do I make a func to ask user to click on a named spot on the screen and it record the x/y position asa variable? Newbie question Im sure but that is what I am. Thx in advance.

This doen't answer your question but maybe do don't need to do that. Look up @DeskTopWidth and @DeskTopHeight.

Here you go, Tested and working completely properly.

#include <Misc.au3>

$Coords = AskUser()

MsgBox(0, "", $Coords[0] & "       " & $Coords[1])


Func AskUser()
    MsgBox(0, "User Input", "Please click the screen on a certain spot" & @CRLF & "Press OK, and then move your mouse there and click")
    Do
        Sleep(50)
    Until _IsPressed(01)
    $Coords = MouseGetPos()
    MsgBox(0, "Thank You", "Your coords have been stored for later use")
    Return $Coords
EndFunc  ;==>AskUser
