Mouse location on the desktop

BlitzMax Forums/MaxGUI Module/Mouse location on the desktop

How can I get the location of the mouse on the desktop in a maxgui app (svn build 53). Don't seem that mousex() and mousey() work. I presume I will need to query some winapi thing. Any hints people?

DesktopExtension 1.13 is good.

that would be ideal, ta

Sorry to bring this back from the dead, but... Is there a way of doing this? The link given above offers modules for an older version of BMax than I'm using. Surely it can't be too hard? (!?)

You can use it anyway. There was a namespace conflict with BM1.39+ which I had removed from the module and uploaded it again right after, but I hadn't changed the side. :S Since DesktopExtension Version 1.18 it is compatible again. Last edited 2011

TY for this! Will give it a go.

And it works well too, thanks.
