Is there a windows message that I can use that lets me know when the mouse moves on the screen. The detection must be for the whole screen, not just the gui like 0x200 WM_MOUSEMOVE.

Many thanks

Thank Bobo, though I meant without the need of a timer - just catch a system message upon mouse movement

Code:

#Persistent
MouseHook := DllCall("SetWindowsHookEx", "int", 14  ; WH_MOUSE_LL = 14
    , "uint", RegisterCallback("MouseProc"), "uint", 0, "uint", 0)
return
MouseProc(nCode, wParam, lParam)
{
    global MouseHook
    Critical
    if wParam = 0x200 ; WM_MOUSEMOVE
    {
        ToolTip % NumGet(lParam+0,0,"int") ", " NumGet(lParam+4,0,"int")
    }
    return DllCall("CallNextHookEx", "uint", MouseHook
                    , "int", nCode, "uint", wParam, "uint", lParam)
}

Windows 9x not supported.

Thanks, but that only works if the script gui is activated. Is there any way that the whole screen detection can work in the background?

Thanks

I guess you didn't try the script, since it does indeed work when the script GUI is not activated. In fact, it does not even have a GUI. :roll:

Yes I did try it out, and that's what I thought too, since it doesn't need a gui to work. Now I think the problem is when I activate Notpad++ and left click, it seems to stop the detection process, and if I left click again on my primary monitor (I have 2), it starts the detection again. If I then click anywhere in Notepad++ on my secondary monitor it stops the process again until I then click on my primary monitor. Any ideas why?

Does it happen only with Notepad++? I guess Notepad++ is doing something that prevents the hook from working properly. I'm not sure anything can be done about that...

Uh, the script doesn't have a gui. :shock:
