Mouse object X & Y coordinates

[Toma]

Mouse object X and Y data members report the coordinates relative to
computer screen.

Is there a way to get mouse X and Y coordinates relative to Lookout
window similar to Panel object x and y data members?

Hi,

You could use an expression like :

Mouse1.X-Panel1.X

which puts it relative to the panel. But there isnt a Lookout system XY datamember. The panel XY members take this into account.

Hi John,

Unfortunately Mouse1.X & Y values will change when
you resize/move/drag the Lookout window.

In other words the mouse object x & y
members are relative to computer screen
while Panel object x and y members are
relative to Lookout window.

I don't think its very wise having
two different coordinate systems in Lookout.

At least there should be a way to get the Lookout
window position (offset) within the computer screen
to make any practical use of these different coordinate
systems.
