The AutoIt MouseGetPos function returns the current position of the mouse pointer. The returned value can either be the X and Y position, X alone or Y alone.

The MouseCoordMode Option controls whether the absolute or relative position is returned. Default is Absolute.

Here is an example that shows how to obtain the position of the pointer, and show it in a message box:

$pos = MouseGetPos()
MsgBox(0, "Mouse (x) left, (y) top:", $pos[0] & "," & $pos[1])

Parameters

NoneIf no parameter was provided, a 2 element array will be returned containing the x and y positions.
0Returns the (x) left position of the pointer.
1Returns the (y) top position of the pointer.
