X,Y Coordinates

[Rex Clark]

This would make an excellent plug-in feature anyone! or a built in function

Having trouble finding Y axis don't really know where to look .. MSDN says something about point(ers) and structures if anybody can find a BTM script way to find the "Y" axis could mean a useful way to Draw without writing any btm code. using something like %@len[%@clip[]]

DrawHline %y %x %@len[%@clip[]] 1 7 on 0

The following script is able to find X axis with mouse movements

cls
setlocal
*unset /q *
setdos /s0:0 /x-678
set xc=%@eval[%@winmetrics[0] \ %_columns]

do forever
set x=%@eval[%@unicode[%@winapi[user32.dll,GetCursorPos,BUFFER]] \ %xc]
set xx=%@unicode[%@winapi[user32.dll,GetCursorPos,BUFFER]]
set y=Unknown
if %_kbhit == 1 leave
screen %@eval[%_rows \ 3] 999 %@format[13,X_column=%X] %@format[13,X_Pixels=%xx]
screen %@eval[(%_rows \ 3) + 2] 999 %@format[13,Y_row=%y] %@format[13,Y_Pixels=%y]

enddo
endlocal
setdos /x0 /s100:10

This may help:

ftp://lucky.syr.edu/4plugins/4sysutils.zip

See _MOUSE.

v:\> echo Mouse: X = %@word[0,%_MOUSE] and Y = %@word[1,%_mouse]
Mouse: X = 1268 and Y = 1012

Also see _MOUSEX and _MOUSEY in:

ftp://lucky.syr.edu/4plugins/4conutils.zip

v:\> echo Mouse: X = %_MOUSEX and Y = %_MOUSEY
Mouse: X = 1268 and Y = 1012

It helped immensely or though 4conutils.zip doesn't exist, on the other hand
4console.zip does
Thank you very much

If possible could I look at the source of the _mouseY function so I can
better understand what @winapi[] function parameter(s) required
I would still like away of finding Y coordinates in a btm fashion.

Do you know if a MouseUp/Down/Left/Right button plugin exist.

SYSUTILS contains:

v:\> click /?
CLICK [/L(eft) | /M(iddle) | /R(ight)] [/2 (double) [x y]

Defaults: single left click at current cursor position

but it automatically does down/up.

The source is below, but it's fairly easy to understand what's happening (if my
guess is right). GetCursorPos(&pt) places the coordinates in a struct { LONG x;
LONG y; } POINT. When you give the function BUFFER, it treats that buffer as a
POINT struct and places two LONGs there. TCC treats that buffer as a string and
unless pt.x is greater than 65535 it runs into a Unicode NUL (0x0000),
terminating the string, before it gets to the y value.

I just did _MOUSEX and _MOUSEY today, so they're not exactly robust.

LONG GetMouse ( BOOL X )
{
POINT pt;
GetCursorPos(&pt);
return X ? pt.x : pt.y;
}

INT WINAPI _MOUSEX ( WCHAR * psz )
{
Sprintf(psz, L"%ld", GetMouse(TRUE));
return 0;
}

INT WINAPI _MOUSEY ( WCHAR * psz )
{
Sprintf(psz, L"%ld", GetMouse(FALSE));
return 0;
}

CLICK RETURNS nothing .. at times it terminates console.

I'm assuming that click by it self defaults to /left button ..according to
inline help.
It doesn't return click coordinates, tried @execstr[click] .. no results
returned
How do I use it

I think the only way it will terminate the console is if the click is a
double-left on the console's system icon or a left on the console's "X" (just
like the mouse).

Quite simply, you use it as you would use the mouse. It's purpose is to push
buttons (not to get information).

Here's an example. Since FireFox automatically supplies my credentials, the
command below logs me into the JPSoft forums, clicking on "Log in", and then, in
my forum subscriptions, clicking on the Support forum. I used a script like
yours to learn where the clicks should happen.

v:\> start d:\FireFox\firefox.exe http://jpsoft.com/forums/usercp.php & delay 3
& click 659 574 & delay 4 & click 382 451
