Get a control position on screen Topic is solved

[m3user]

Is it possible to get a control (for example button) position relative to entire screen? I tried GuiControl Get, Pos but it only gets a position relative to window.

WinGetPos for the window's screen x, y
the control's screen x, y are then the window's screen x, y + the control's relative x, y

ok, thanks!

Unfortunately I still have issues finding the position:

You could get the control's hWnd, and pass that to WinGetPos.

Code: Select all

q:: ;control get screen coordinates
ControlGet, hCtl, Hwnd,, Button1, A
WinGetPos, vWinX, vWinY, vWinW, vWinH, % "ahk_id " hCtl
MsgBox, % Format("x{} y{} w{} h{}", vWinX, vWinY, vWinW, vWinH)
return
