That works IN IT"S OWN PAGE, not on an outside windows.

If I wasn't so slammed today, I would have wrote him one, but Google results should turn something out fairly quickly.

Hit the 'Prnt Scrn' button

Open Paint

Select Edit > Paste, or Ctrl-V, to paste the image.

Click the Free-Form select button (Dotted Star) to lock the image location

Move the Mouse over the location in the image.

Note the Mouse Coordinates in the status bar.

That is pretty smart though..

yea I know this thread is yrs old but the screenshot method won't work because whatever graphic application offsets the coordinates, savy?

our good friend google did not cough up dozens of results and I could only find one that fit the bill, though I remember a small little app that had the coordinates in a tool tip.

Hey,

I found a good way to find the coordinates of the mouse.

1. Download: AutoIt v3

2. From the Start menu, go to AutoIt v3 > SciTE Script Editor.

3. Paste this script code into it and save it:

Code:

HotKeySet("z","jPos")

While 1
    Sleep(100)
WEnd

Func jPos()
    $jPos = MouseGetPos()
    MsgBox(0, "Mouse x,y:", $jPos[0] & "," & $jPos[1])
    
EndFunc

4. Now go to AutoIt v3 > Run Script and choose the script you just created. The icon will show in the system tray (bottom right).

Now when you press the letter 'z', it will display the mouse xy coordinates in a pop-up box.
