Hi!

I want to get the coordinates x and y for the system(windows xp)on a mouse
click. This means i want this to work on regular windows screen components
such as iexplorer and not java GUI.

How do this with java?
Regards
/Tom

I beleive Robot allows one to put mouse at some coordinates but not
read mouse coordinates.

You can just put these coordinates with Robot class not read.

see http://mindprod.com/products1.html#MOUSE if you have an old JRE.

If you have JDK 1.5+ you can use MouseInfo.getPointerInfo.
