Get position of cursor

[Time_Runner]

I think that I use to have this but I can not find it. Is there a way to get the cursor or I beam position, in notepad, relative to 0,0 of id 15?

int hwnd=id(15 win("Notepad" "Notepad"))
lef 0 0 hwnd

[Time_Runner]

This just makes the mouse hover over 0,0 of id 15.I need to know that Notepads I beam is at (the forth space of row 2) relative to 0,0 of id 15 of Notepad.

Function GetCaretXY gets text cursor position, where possible.

[Time_Runner]

Yes that works however, that is always relative to the screen 0,0 and not relative to 0,0 of id 15 of Notepad.

int CaretX CaretY
GetCaretXY CaretX CaretY
out CaretX
out CaretY

[Gintaras]

GetCaretXY CaretX CaretY 0 0 1
will be relative to the client area of the child window where caret is.

Thank you – One question. Where is the documentation on the flags or should I just try flags on all functions?

Only what you see in status bar or when press F1.

Hi!
I use the below function many times.

int x y
int h=GetCaretXY(x y)

to get caret coordinates in "Microsoft word 2003 on my windows XP"
The (h,x, y) are alway (0, 0, 0).
It is relative to screen and works for Notepad, however.

I search on the internet for a long time
The problem seems that after GetGUIThreadInfo
the g.hwndCaret =0, g.rcCaret.left .... are not exist.
Can QM experts help me, please!

act win("Microsoft Word" "OpusApp")
1.5 ;;wait 1.5 s because Word does not give caret pos for 1 s after window activation

int x y h
h=GetCaretXY(x y 0 0 1) ;;the 1 makes the returned pos relative to the client area of h
if(!h) mes- "Failed."
out "%i %i" x y
