Screen MousePosition Cocoa mouseLocation

[Wolfram]

Can some one show me how to use the cocoa mouseLocation command to get the mouse position on screen?

[wilbert]

Code: Select all

Location.NSPoint
CocoaMessage(@Location, 0, "NSEvent mouseLocation")

Debug Location\x
Debug Location\y

Be aware that on OS X, not the top left but the bottom left location is (0, 0) .

Thanks Wilbert!

But how do I know that class func mouseLocation() -> NSPoint musst be written as "NSEvent mouseLocation" ?

Just take a look at the cocoa classes once in a while That's how I knew.
If you look at the NSEvent Class Reference you see it marked with a (+) indicating that it's a class function that doesn't require to create an instance first.
A lot of other methods are instance methods marked with a (-) that need a class instance to work on.

If I don't know which methods there are or the description is not quite right, I display the methods of an object.
