I have a feature request, could you add an option to display mouse position relative to a control?
something like this:

It seems this script doesnt't work with AHK_L. AHK_L always crashes after some time.

[Lexikos]

I don't have any problems with it.

However, when I ran the script with AutoHotkey Basic or AutoHotkey_L 32-bit on my 64-bit Windows 7 system, it frequently caused explorer.exe to crash. The reason was that it tries to allocate memory in explorer.exe to retrieve information from the Desktop ListView, but the pointer to this memory gets truncated from 64-bit to 32-bit. I worked around this by compiling the script with a 64-bit AutoHotkeySC.bin. (I never saw the script crash, just explorer.exe.)

Not sure why, but the 'Mouse' tab is EXTREMELY slow to re-draw.

You need to disable the Aero theme by changing it to the Basic or, better still, Classic theme.

Would anyone know if it is possible to adapt this script to be compatible with the Aero theme?

Here's a faster version that uses FastPixelGetColor() from around the forums:

Edit: Here's a link to the code since the script is so long.

I need to scrape Windows-Forms.. Sorry to barge in. Will AHK do such? Danke.

A note to the author.

From <!-- m -->http://msdn.microsof... ... 33(v=vs.85<!-- m -->).aspx

An application must not delete a DC whose handle was obtained by calling the GetDC function. Instead, it must call the ReleaseDC function to free the DC

In your script you do exactly that.

in fact, i have seen cases where a script will memory leak if you DONT delete it. i'm talking specifically about a DC obtained from GetDC, not something like CreateCompatibleDC. so microsofts docs are not reliable in this case.

altho the OS probably won't let you delete the DC internally since i highly doubt you can delete DC's from other processes

anyway i might fix this script and update it not only with the fast getpixel but also for windows settings at 120dpi since all the edit boxes are off. plus i find the gui on this thing to be horrible

edit/
oh, i see Uberi's version already fixes the 120dpi, thats makes the gui a lot easier to read

Why not? You can delete bitmaps and icons from other processes, and those are also GDI objects.
