Mousemove and GetCursorPos

johnc3640 · Post by **johnc3640** » Sun Sep 15, 2013 6:56 pm

I realize that the answer to this should be obvious but I am stumped.

The following code:

GetScreenRes>xWidth,xHeight
MouseMove>1280,720
GetCursorPos>X,Y,cType

resulted in the following values:

xWidth=1280
xHeigth=720

x=853
y=480

Why doesn't the MouseMove and GetCursorPos yield the same result (no the mouse did not move in between lines)? Also, after the mouse moved, as a result of the above step, it did not end up in the bottom right hand corner of the screen.

Are you trying to move your cursor past your screen resolution? Because that's not possible.

Try this example:

Code: Select all

GetScreenRes>xWidth,xHeight
MouseMove>500,400
GetCursorPos>X,Y,cType

MDL>Screen Resolution: %xWidth%,%xHeight%%CRLF%Cursor Position: %X%,%Y%%CRLF%Cursor Type: %cType%

No, I am not trying to move the mouse beyond the screen. I have the same issure if the starting mouse move was to 200,200 - MouseMove and GetCursorPos do not result in/return the same location.

I think having the cursor type is your problem there JohnC - have you tried removing that? It's optional.

GetScreenRes>xWidth,xHeight
//MouseMove>xWidth,xHeight
MouseMove>1080,720
GetCursorPos>X,Y

messagemodal>%xWidth% %CRLF% %xheight% %CRLF% %X% %CRLF% %Y%

I can't replicate the problem, even if I keep the cursor type in.

I'm on a 1600x900. I used this :

Code: Select all

GetScreenRes>xWidth,xHeight
MouseMove>1280,720
GetCursorPos>X,Y,cType
mdl>Resolution is %xWidth% x %xHeight%%CRLF%Cursor co-ordinates and type %X%,%Y%,%cType%


GetScreenRes>xWidth,xHeight
MouseMove>%xWidth%,%xHeight%
GetCursorPos>X,Y,cType
mdl>Resolution is %xWidth% x %xHeight%%CRLF%Cursor co-ordinates and type %X%,%Y%,%cType%

The first section gets the screen resolution, moves the mouse to 1280,720, then reports the mouse position correctly as 1280,720.

The second part gets the resolution, moves the mouse pointer to the bottom right corner, and correctly reports the mouse position.

I am using a 27 inch widesreen monitor 1600 by 1200. Macroscheduler does not recognize this size - but for some reason the program returns different values for these functions.

What does GetSystemMetrics report?

Code: Select all

  Let>SM_XVIRTUALSCREEN=76
  Let>SM_YVIRTUALSCREEN=77
  Let>SM_CXVIRTUALSCREEN=78
  Let>SM_CYVIRTUALSCREEN=79

  LibFunc>User32,GetSystemMetrics,VScrWidth,SM_CXVIRTUALSCREEN
  LibFunc>User32,GetSystemMetrics,VScrHeight,SM_CYVIRTUALSCREEN
  LibFunc>User32,GetSystemMetrics,VScrLeft,SM_XVIRTUALSCREEN
  LibFunc>User32,GetSystemMetrics,VScrTop,SM_YVIRTUALSCREEN
  
  MDL>%VScrLeft%,%VScrTop% - %VScrWidth%,%VScrHeight%
