Mouse click listener

Question

Hi

Not even sure if this is possible. I use a design application with a design interface. I need to place points where ever I make a mouse down click but the application doesn't provide a way of doing that. Well, it does but not while a built in process is in operation.

What I would like to do is-
Start a built in tool in the application
Have a mouselistener to record mouse down chords

What I can do with the app is get its top left of the app and also top left of the design window along with its width and height so I could calculate the click point in the window.

Is there a way to do what I'm thinking that is, record the mousedown event and record its coords?

Thanks

Hi @NachitoMax ,
In winform, you can use 'Cursor.Position.X' and 'Cursor.Position.Y' to get the cursor position.
Then bind to bind to MouseDown event.

        private void Form1_MouseDown(object sender, MouseEventArgs e)  
        {  
            label1.Text = "X:" + Cursor.Position.X;   
            label2.Text = "Y:" + Cursor.Position.Y;   
        }  

Also take a look at:

Hope them could be helpful.
