x cursor position does not work Topic is solved

[Guest]

Hello! I'm a beginner and need some helps.

This code works (apparently?) very well and prints the x cursor position .

Code: Select all

CursorPositionX() 
{
  clipboard = 
  Sendinput +{Home}^c^v
  return StrLen(clipboard)
}
^w::
tmp := clipboard
msgbox % CursorPositionX()
clipboard := tmp

The following should be even more "sure" (to me) but it works only sometimes. Why??????

Code: Select all

CursorPositionX() 
{
  clipboard = 
  Sendinput +{Home}^c ; differences are here
  ClipWait 0.1 ;  here 
  Sendinput ^v ; and here
  return StrLen(clipboard)
}

^w::
tmp := clipboard
msgbox % CursorPositionX()
clipboard := tmp

Hi,

To be honest I can't say anything about your codes, but I make the same thing in a different way.

Code: Select all

^+!F4::
CoordMode, Mouse, Screen
MouseGetPos, xx, yy
Clipboard = Cursor is at: %xx%, %yy%
return

CoordMode, Mouse, Screen means the cursor position is always taken from the whole screen.
If you want the cursor position to be relative to your active window, remove everything, so only:

Code: Select all

^+!F4::
MouseGetPos, xx, yy
Clipboard = Cursor is at: %xx%, %yy%
return

Of course you can change the hotkey (In this case it's Ctrl+Shift+Alt+F4) and the variables.

Hallo,
maybe with slower sends?

Code: Select all

CursorPositionX() 
{
  clipboard = 
  SetKeyDelay, 30,20
  Send +{Home}^c
  ClipWait .1
  Send ^v 
  return StrLen(clipboard)
}

^w::
tmp := clipboardall
msgbox % CursorPositionX()
clipboard := tmp
Return
