  • A mouse pointer question

    From Helmut Giese@hgiese@ratiosoft.com to comp.lang.tcl on Mon Aug 26 21:41:17 2024

    Hello out there,
    is it possible to obtain the current position of the mouse pointer
    WITHOUT any user action? During Motion etc. events it is easy but
    without? Is it possible?
    Any answer will be greatly appreciated

    as soon as I had posted my question I knew there would be an easy
    answer. Thanks for reminding me of the obvious.
