CoordMode confusion... Topic is solved

[kunkel321]

This code

Code: Select all

#SingleInstance
#Requires AutoHotkey v2+


CoordMode 'CaretGetPos', 'Screen'

!^q::
{
   If CaretGetPos(&mbx, &mby)
      msgbox 'caret Pos ' mbx 'x, ' mby 'y'
   else
      MsgBox 'no caret 4 U'
}

Yields this error:

Error: Parameter #1 of CoordMode is invalid.

Specifically: CaretGetPos

004: CoordMode('ToolTip', 'Screen')
▶ 005: CoordMode('CaretGetPos', 'Screen')
008: {
009: If CaretGetPos(&mbx, &mby)

CaretGetPos does appear to be listed in the docs here though.... Do I have a typo in there??

Yes. The page that you cited notes the following possible target types: ToolTip, Pixel, Mouse, Caret, and Menu. Take your pick.

Yes, of course. It's Caret not CaretGetPos.
