AppleScript

System Events can report the position of the currently active window. The mouse's location is retrieved with help from AppleScriptObjC. This will be relative to the bottom-left corner of the screen. Therefore, we also retrieve the screen's height.

use framework "AppKit"

tell application id "com.apple.SystemEvents" to tell ¬
	(the first process where it is frontmost) to ¬
	set {x, y} to the front window's position

tell the current application
	set H to NSHeight(its NSScreen's mainScreen's frame)
	tell [] & its NSEvent's mouseLocation
		set item 1 to (item 1) - x
		set item 2 to H - (item 2) - y
		set coords to it as point
	end tell
end tell

log coords
Output:

{187, 171}

C++

Mouse pointers are part of the window manager system, and are therefore highly platform dependent.

This example works under a Windows operating system.

#include <iostream>

#include <windows.h>

int main() {
	POINT MousePoint;
	if ( GetCursorPos(&MousePoint) ) {
		std::cout << MousePoint.x << ", " << MousePoint.y << std::endl;
	}
}
Output:
726, 506

c_sharp

Writes the absolute Mouse Position of the Screen into the Console

using System;
using System.Windows.Forms;
static class Program
{
    [STAThread]
    static void Main()
    {
        Console.WriteLine(Control.MousePosition.X);
        Console.WriteLine(Control.MousePosition.Y);
    }
}

Clojure

(let [point (.. java.awt.MouseInfo getPointerInfo getLocation)] [(.getX point) (.getY point)])

Common Lisp

With the ltk library.

(ql:quickload "ltk")
(in-package :ltk-user)
(defun motion (event)
    (format t "~a x position is ~a~&" event (event-x event)))

(with-ltk ()
    ;; create a small window. Enter the mouse to see lots of events.
    (bind *tk* "<Motion>" #'motion))

This prints a lot of events of the form


 #S(EVENT
  :X 0
  :Y 85
  :KEYCODE ??
  :CHAR ??
  :WIDTH ??
  :HEIGHT ??
  :ROOT-X 700
  :ROOT-Y 433
  :MOUSE-BUTTON ??)

The #S indicates we get a structure, so we can access the x position with (event-x event).

Delphi

Shows mouse-position on a label on the form.

procedure TForm1.FormMouseMove(Sender: TObject; Shift: TShiftState; X,
  Y: Integer);
begin
   lblMousePosition.Caption := ('X:' + IntToStr(X) + ', Y:' + IntToStr(Y));
end;


Delphi Console Program

The following program will help capture the mouse position with the help of Windows and classes units.

program Project1;
{$APPTYPE CONSOLE}
uses
  SysUtils, Controls, Windows;

var
  MyMouse : TMouse;
begin
  MyMouse := TMouse.Create;
  While True do
  begin
    WriteLn('(X, y) = (' + inttostr(TPoint(MyMouse.CursorPos).x) + ',' + inttostr(TPoint(MyMouse.CursorPos).y) + ')');
    sleep(300);
  end
end.

EchoLisp

When the plot library is loaded, the mouse position - relative to the plotting area coordinates, is displayed inside the info panel.

(lib 'plot)
(plot-x-minmax 10) ; set logical dimensions of plotting area
(plot-y-minmax 100)
   (("x" 0 10) ("y" 0 100))
;; press ESC to see the canvas
;; the mouse position is displayed as , for example,  [ x: 5.6 y : 88.7]
;; 0 <= x <= 10, 0 <= y <= 100

Emacs Lisp

For Emacs' own frames (which is what Emacs calls its window system windows), the frame the mouse is over and where the mouse is within that frame can be obtained with

(mouse-pixel-position)
;; => (FRAME . (X . Y))

Or mouse-position for characters instead of pixels. Works when the mouse is over any Emacs frame, not just when that frame is the active focused window.

There's no particularly easy way to inquire about a non-Emacs focused window, only generic X11 or similar approaches run externally.

ERRE

This example program, taken from distribution disk, shows the mouse position in a text field at the bottom-right corner and updates when the mouse is moved.

The active window may be externally created.

package main

import (

    "github.com/go-vgo/robotgo"
)

func isInside(x, y, w, h, mx, my int) bool {
    rx := x + w - 1
    ry := y + h - 1
    return mx >= x && mx <= rx && my >= y && my <= ry
}

    name := "gedit" // say
    fpid, err := robotgo.FindIds(name)
    if err == nil && len(fpid) > 0 {
        pid := fpid[0]
        robotgo.ActivePID(pid) // make gedit active window
        x, y, w, h := robotgo.GetBounds(pid)
        fmt.Printf("The active window's top left corner is at (%d, %d)\n", x, y)
        fmt.Printf("Its width is %d and its height is %d\n", w, h)
        mx, my := robotgo.GetMousePos()
        fmt.Printf("The screen location of the mouse cursor is (%d, %d)\n", mx, my)
        if !isInside(x, y, w, h, mx, my) {
            fmt.Println("The mouse cursor is outside the active window")
        } else {
            wx := mx - x
            wy := my - y
            fmt.Printf("The window location of the mouse cursor is (%d, %d)\n", wx, wy)
        }
    } else {
        fmt.Println("Problem when finding PID(s) of", name)
    }
}
Output:

A first run after placing mouse cursor inside active window:

The active window's top left corner is at (547, 167)
Its width is 792 and its height is 506
The screen location of the mouse cursor is (949, 446)
The window location of the mouse cursor is (402, 279)

A second run after moving mouse cursor outside active window:

The active window's top left corner is at (547, 167)
Its width is 792 and its height is 506
The screen location of the mouse cursor is (334, 639)
The mouse cursor is outside the active window

Groovy

Based on Java solution:

1.upto(5) {
    Thread.sleep(1000)
    def p = java.awt.MouseInfo.pointerInfo.location
    println "${it}: x=${p.@x} y=${p.@y}"
}

Sample output:

1: x=857 y=0
2: x=765 y=447
3: x=0 y=535
4: x=715 y=283
5: x=1335 y=83

Haskell

This example uses threepenny-gui, a Haskell library that uses browser as GUI - native windows are not supported. Just like in JavaScript, constraint is that you can only get the mouse position when an event happens (like mouse move or mouse click).

import qualified Graphics.UI.Threepenny as UI
import Graphics.UI.Threepenny.Core

main :: IO ()
main = do
    startGUI defaultConfig setup         -- Start the Threepenny server

setup :: Window -> UI ()
setup window = do
    -- Set the window title
    pure window # set UI.title "Cursor Position Example"

    -- Create a display area
    displayArea <- UI.div # set UI.style [("width", "100%"), ("height", "100vh"), ("background", "#f0f0f0")]
    getBody window #+ [element displayArea]

    -- Event listener for mouse movements
    on UI.mousemove displayArea $ \(x, y) -> do
        -- This prints in terminal where threepenny-gui server was started, NOT in browser console
        liftIO $ putStrLn $ "Mouse cursor position relative to window: (" ++ show x ++ ", " ++ show y ++ ")"


HicEst

Mouse click positions for windows created internally. X and Y are in units of current xy axes (optional: invisible).

   WINDOW(WINdowhandle=handle)
   AXIS(WINdowhandle=handle, MouSeCall=Mouse_Callback, MouSeX=X, MouSeY=Y) 
 END

SUBROUTINE Mouse_Callback()
   WRITE(Messagebox, Name) X, Y
 END

Icon and Unicon

In Icon/Unicon the mouse position may be tracked between button presses for any window created by the program. The following code snippet taken from the Icon Graphics Book on page 197-198 shows how to track the mouse.

until *Pending() > 0 & Event() == "q" do { # loop until there is something to do
   px := WAttrib("pointerx")
   py := WAttrib("pointery")
   #  do whatever is needed
   WDelay(5)  # wait and share processor
   }

Java

Works with: Java version 1.5+

The mouse position can be checked at any time by calling

Point mouseLocation = MouseInfo.getPointerInfo().getLocation();

This returns a point on the entire screen, rather than relative to a particular window. This call can be combined with getLocation() from any Component (including a Frame, which is a window) to get the location relative to that Component.

JavaScript

In a browser environment, it's impossible to actually get the cursor position at the specific moment. You must wait for user input (movement, click, etc). One of many ways to add an event listener:

document.addEventListener('mousemove', function(e){
  var position = { x: e.clientX, y: e.clientY }
}

In the above example, the window may not be external. It must in fact be a web browser window, which runs the script.

Julia

using Gtk

const win = GtkWindow("Get Mouse Position", 600, 800)
const butn = GtkButton("Click Me Somewhere")
push!(win, butn)

callback(b, evt) = set_gtk_property!(win, :title, "Mouse Position: X is $(evt.x), Y is $(evt.y)")
signal_connect(callback, butn, "button-press-event")

showall(win)

c = Condition()
endit(w) = notify(c)
signal_connect(endit, win, :destroy)

    (1..5).forEach {
        Thread.sleep(1000)

        println("${it}: x = ${"%-4d".format(p.x)} y = ${"%-4d".format(p.y)}")

3: x = 1331 y = 511
4: x = 269  y = 562

The following code will use the SDL module, a wrapper for the libSDL C-library. When you move the mouse over the created window, the mouse position get printed and the program terminates.

use SDL;
use SDL::Events;
use SDLx::App;

my $app = SDLx::App->new;
$app->add_event_handler( sub {
	my $event = shift;
	if( $event->type == SDL_MOUSEMOTION ) {
		printf( "x=%d y=%d\n", $event->motion_x, $event->motion_y );
		$app->stop
	}
} );
$app->run;
Output:
x=15 y=304

Phix

The following example shows three labels being updated with the mouse position.
The globalmotion label is updated whenever the mouse moves anywhere within the window, but not outside it.
The canvasmotion label is updated whenever the mouse moves within the canvas, but not elsewhere in the window (or beyond).
The timer label is updated every three seconds and gets mouse positions anywhere on the whole screen, whether it moves or not.
Note that canvasmotion coordinates are relative to the top left of the canvas, whereas the other two are absolute.

Rust

Prints current location of the mouse cursor relative to any active window. This example relies on the Windows API.

// rustc 0.9 (7613b15 2014-01-08 18:04:43 -0800)

use std::libc::{BOOL, HANDLE, LONG};
use std::ptr::mut_null;

type HWND = HANDLE;

#[deriving(Eq)]
struct POINT {
    x: LONG,
    y: LONG
}

#[link_name = "user32"]
extern "system" {
    fn GetCursorPos(lpPoint:&mut POINT) -> BOOL;
    fn GetForegroundWindow() -> HWND;
    fn ScreenToClient(hWnd:HWND, lpPoint:&mut POINT);
}

fn main() {
    let mut pt = POINT{x:0, y:0};
    loop {
        std::io::timer::sleep(100); // sleep duration in milliseconds

        let pt_prev = pt;
        unsafe { GetCursorPos(&mut pt) };
        if pt != pt_prev {
            let h = unsafe { GetForegroundWindow() };
            if h == mut_null() { continue }

            let mut pt_client = pt;
            unsafe { ScreenToClient(h, &mut pt_client) };
            println!("x: {}, y: {}", pt_client.x, pt_client.y);
        }
    }

Seed7

The functions pointerXPos and pointerYPos from the graph.s7i library determine the actual X and Y position of the mouse pointer, relative to the given window:

xPos := pointerXPos(curr_win);
yPos := pointerYPos(curr_win);

Smalltalk

Sending the message position to the activeHand of the World returns a Point object:

World activeHand position. " (394@649.0)"

	        XGetInputFocus dp
              ) ;
XQueryPointer focus ;
XQueryPointer w;

result: position wrt root window and active window, resp wrt root window and window w

Visual Basic

There are two methods for determining where the mouse pointer is. The first only works when the pointer is actually over the window containing the code. This actually works for any control that has a MouseMove event, but it doesn't work if the pointer is over anything else, including controls on the form (so if the pointer is over a button on the current form, the event will only fire for the button, not the form).

Private Sub Form_MouseMove(Button As Integer, Shift As Integer, X As Single, Y As Single)
    'X and Y are in "twips" -- 15 twips per pixel
    Me.Print "X:" & X
    Me.Print "Y:" & Y
End Sub

The second method uses the Windows API, and can be easily translated to any language that can make API calls. This example uses a Timer control to check the mouse position.

Private Declare Function GetCursorPos Lib "user32" (lpPoint As POINTAPI) As Long

Private Type POINTAPI
    'X and Y are in pixels, with (0,0) being the top left corner of the primary display
    X As Long
    Y As Long
End Type

Private Pt As POINTAPI

Private Sub Timer1_Timer()
    GetCursorPos Pt
    Me.Cls
    Me.Print "X:" & Pt.X
    Me.Print "Y:" & Pt.Y
End Sub

            var cy = Mouse.y

Sample output:

The coordinates of the mouse relative to the canvas are:

[229, 29]
[250, 62]

XPL0

GetMousePosition(0) = X coordinate; 1 = Y coordinate. For video modes $0..$E and $13 the maximum coordinates are 639x199, minus the size of the pointer. For modes $F..$12 the coordinates are the same as the pixels. VESA graphic modes are (usually) 639x479 regardless of the resolution. For 80-column text modes divide the mouse coordinates by 8 to get the character cursor position.

The mouse cursor location is always relative to the upper-left corner of the screen. A window may be externally created ... using a fair amount of code because the version of XPL0 used with these Rosetta Code examples does not make Windows applications (however see "Simple windowed application").

include c:\cxpl\stdlib;
if not OpenMouse then Text(0, "A mouse is required")
else [ShowMouse(true);
      IntOut(0, GetMousePosition(0));  ChOut(0, ^,);
      IntOut(0, GetMousePosition(1));  CrLf(0);
     ]
Example output:
