Get XY of mouse click help

[QM Student]

Hello QM Forum,

I was wondering if its possible to use QM to get the XY cords when my mouse clicks and out them? So I could turn them into code like: lef 302 401 "I.E"?
Please dont mistake this as a key logger I dont want anything like that, just as a preference setting for windows that cannot be clicked with other calls besides mouse clicks. So it can be universal instead of only working on my computer. Thanks for your time its much appreciated.

ok I found this code you had, I tried messing with it a bit but cant get the result I desire. I only want it to out the x y if i lef click. but this code outs and then ends every time i just move my mouse and Im not really sure how to edit it to work how I need it to. Will you make me an example please?

also look in AltMouseTriggers

[QM Student]

Do I look it up in MSDN Library or does QM have reference about it?

[Gintaras]

It is in the search results. Click the link again and you will find it.

Ok great, I figured out what I need to do.

Is is possible to make an if statement so i can end the constant running thread if the window is single lef clicked?

what I want to do is have it check like this.

if(lef mouse click occurs) end

using this code case [WM_LBUTTONDOWN,WM_LBUTTONUP]to check if the mouse has been clicked.

,case WM_LBUTTONDOWN
,end

Ok ive gotten the code to this much it works how I want except its still ending without me clicking? What am I missing? I have all the member functions in file just didnt think need to post let me know and I will post them as well.

sel k

,out "%i %i" ms.pt.x ms.pt.y
,end

[Gintaras]

,case WM_LBUTTONDOWN
,end

It is in AltMouseTriggers.

I don't recommend to use WaitForKeyOrMouse. Would need to goto beginning on case else, but it is much overhead.

If need only single click:

Ok I looked for AltMouseTriggers and this is what I found:
AltMouseTrigger help

I got the code off the page that was there but wasnt really sure how to use it, this is my first time going indepth with mouse click actions, would you mind making me a small example of how to use AltMouseTriggers?

[Gintaras]

Need hooks only if you need all clicks.
If need 1 click, use this:

Code:

out "%i %i" ms.pt.x ms.pt.y

Because when I run the code with wait 0 ML it outs 0 0 like the x y's are not registering?
