win32gui.GetCursorPos will return the current mouse position in screen coordinates. Your second question is not clear to me. An application does not receive mouse messages when the mouse goes outside its window, unless it is using "mouse capture". If you click on a button control and hold the mouse button down, then drag the mouse outside the button, you'll notice that the button window stays depressed until you release the mouse. That happens because the button control "captures the mouse". All mouse messages are directed only to the button until it releases capture, which it will do when the mouse button is released. Beyond that, you'll have to ask a more specific question. -- Tim Roberts, t...@probo.com Providenza & Boekelheide, Inc. _______________________________________________ python-win32 mailing list python-win32@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-win32
