I think that you have to use the WIN API at this time to get the position. Something like this:
GetCursorPos_(@Coordinate.POINT)
xpos = Coordinate\x ; x pos of mouse cursorypos = Coordinate\y ; y pos of mouse cursor

If your app is just for Windows (and not Amiga/Linux), you can do this:
GetCursorPos_(mouse.POINT) : x=mouse\x : y=mouse\y
The variables x and y will then hold the current co-ordinates.

No API needed herer, guys...
x = WindowX() + WindowMouseX()
y = WindowY() + WindowMouseY()
Works fine...

Only works if your app actually has a window.

Yeah I know.
And it's a good way to ensure your app works with the
Amiga/Linux versions of PureBasic too. But if you're just coding for
Windows, then using the API will save you both memory and exe size:
Code: Select all
; Creates exe size of 12,320 bytes.
OpenConsole()
OpenWindow(0,0,0,0,0,#PB_Window_Invisible,"")
x=WindowX()+WindowMouseX() : y=WindowY()+WindowMouseY()
PrintN(Str(x)) : PrintN(Str(y)) : Input() : End
;
; Creates exe size of 7,200 bytes.
OpenConsole()
GetCursorPos_(mouse.POINT) : x=mouse\x : y=mouse\y
PrintN(Str(x)) : PrintN(Str(y)) : Input() : End
