Using Mouse Locator In A Full Screen Program

[H2o-KiD]

I just tried to use Mouse Locator for detecting mouse's coordinates but It doesn't work in a Full Screen Program? Help please

[Dan H]

I've had simular issues.. my work around has been to get the coords in windowed mode, then subtract 11 from the Y coord. Additionally, some programs seem to disable getting coords (screen or window) even in windowed mode the coords stop updating when mouse is overtop of that programs window. To work around this, I move the Mouse locator to the postion on the screen I want and guesstimate the location.

 

 

Hope some of that helps!

Not knowing more of the specifics, I would guess that full-screen mode actually means non-window mode. Since the Mouse Locator dialog is a window, it probably can't be displayed unless you are in a window mode.

Ah.. I should be more clear. If possible, you need to switch the program from full screen to windowed (alt+enter usually works, or might need a switch in program paramaters)... take the screen positions you need in windowed mode, then subtract 11 (if you are running in 1024x768 screen resolution) from the Y coord to make the posistions valid for full screen mode.

Have you tried to use "Ctrl + Space" (In the mouse move window)?

"Press Ctrl+Space to save the current mouse coordinates."

 

You could try using a macro like this one..

 

Get Mouse Position Screen: %N1%, %N2%

Text Box Display: %N1% and %N2%

I know "Ctrl+Space" can very quickly gives Coordinate in Full Screen but one more thing, If I want to know the "Pixel Color" of the location in Full Screen program? Please help.

The command "Get Pixel Color" will do that.

 

It's placed under the Commands Category "System".
