From the help file:

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

Absolute coordinates are the coordinates where the origin ([0, 0] or [1, 1] I think) is on the upper left corner of the screen.

In relative coordinates, the origin is at the upper left corner of the active window [for option 0] or the client area [for option 2].

That's what I know.

snowman533,

Try running this and see if you understand it better:

expandcollapse popup

#include <GUIConstantsEx.au3>

$hGUI = GUICreate("Test", 500, 500)

GUICtrlCreateLabel("", 100, 100, 2, 2)
GUICtrlSetBkColor(-1, 0xFF0000)

GUISetState()

Opt("MouseCoordMode", 1); Default - screen coords
MsgBox(0, "", "MouseCoordMode 1" & @CRLF & "Relative to screen" & @CRLF & " Mouse will move to top left")

MouseMove(100, 100)

Opt("MouseCoordMode", 0); relative to window
MsgBox(0, "", "MouseCoordMode 1" & @CRLF & "Relative to window" & @CRLF & "Measured from border" & @CRLF & "And so not on pixel")

MouseMove(100, 100)

Opt("MouseCoordMode", 1); Default - screen coords
MsgBox(0, "", "MouseCoordMode 1" & @CRLF & "Relative to screen again" & @CRLF & "Back to top left")

MouseMove(100, 100)

Opt("MouseCoordMode", 2); relative to client area
MsgBox(0, "", "MouseCoordMode 1" & @CRLF & "Relative to client area" & @CRLF & "And so right on the pixel")

MouseMove(100, 100)

While 1

    Switch GUIGetMsg()
        Case $GUI_EVENT_CLOSE
            Exit
    EndSwitch

WEnd

This shows the different return values of the same position on desktop.

;
#include <GUIConstantsEx.au3>
#include <WindowsConstants.au3>

Opt('MustDeclareVars', 1)

Example1()

; example 1
Func Example1()
    Local $msg, $aPos0, $aPos1, $aPos2

    GUICreate("Test MouseCoordMode") ; will create a dialog box that when displayed is centered
    GUISetState(@SW_SHOW) ; will display an empty dialog box

    ; Run the GUI until the dialog is closed
    While 1
        $msg = GUIGetMsg()
        Opt("MouseCoordMode", 0) ;1=absolute, 0=relative, 2=client
        $aPos0 = MouseGetPos()

        Opt("MouseCoordMode", 2) ;1=absolute, 0=relative, 2=client
        $aPos2 = MouseGetPos()

        Opt("MouseCoordMode", 1) ;1=absolute, 0=relative, 2=client
        $aPos1 = MouseGetPos()

        ToolTip('"MouseCoordMode", 0 (relative)  x/y = ' & @TAB & $aPos0[0] & " / " & $aPos0[1] & @CRLF & _

thanks guys, that helped me understand mousecoord and usage of mouse coordinates
