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

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.
