def vs.GetMouse():
    return p

Parameters

Name	Type	Description
p	REAL	Returns current mouse coordinates.

This function does not return accurate position of the mouse on the current 2D plane when in a 3D view.

Examples

VectorScript

BEGIN
WHILE NOT KeyDown(aCode) DO
BEGIN
GetMouse(CursX,CursY);
Message('X : ',CursX,' Y : ',CursY);
END;
END;
{displays the cursor coordinates as it is moved around onscreen}

Python

def Example():
	isKeyDown, alakiCode = vs.KeyDown()
	while not(isKeyDown):
		CursPt = vs.GetMouse()
		vs.Message('X : ',CursPt[0],' Y : ',CursPt[1])
		isKeyDown, alakiCode = vs.KeyDown()
Example()

BEGIN
SetCursor (ArrowC);
GetMouse (x, y);
x := x - kX0;
IF x < 0 THEN
BEGIN
	xB_S := Num2Str( numDecPlaces( deltaX ), 0 );

import vs

# within the active VectorWorks document, allowing the cursor coordinates to
