Mouse control

I'm having a problem locating information on sending mouse commands to a specific screen loc. Specifically, I'm looking for information on how to do determine what the current position of the mouse pointer is on the screen. I've read the manual and figure I need to use either the /mouseto or /click left commands, but how do I figure out the screen location I need to click?
Perhaps it would help to explain what I'm doing. I have a macro that runs in forgotten halls. Periodically, I get dumped from the zone for no apparent reason (at least according to my /spew data.) Figure it must be a timer on instance zones or something. I can detect when I'm kicked from the zone, so I want to tweak my macro so if I do get kicked, my character just requests a new zone instance and zones back in. I can get the adventure window up on screen, but cannot figure out what loc I need to click to accept the adventure. Also, it's a 2-box macro, so I need to add another char to the adventure. I've done alot of searching and rtfm'ing to get it to this point, hoping someone can point me towards a solution or some post I may have missed that explains how to do this

Thanks

You designate the object you want to click.

Code: Select all

/itemnotify myballsack rightmouseup

In your case you want to be clicking one of the Adventure window objects. I have no idea which though, so happy experimenting.

An example of a line that presses the give button when giving things to an NPC.

Code: Select all

        /notify GiveWnd GVW_Give_Button leftmouseup

Right out of the handin mac.

There is a list stickied in this forum or the MacroDepot(3) forum that gives window names and button names, which should help some.

And you can always play with the /window command to see the names etc

aChallenged1 - thanks. I'd previously looked at the handin mac, but had disregarded it because i wasn't trying to hand anything in to the adventure guy, just trying to obtain the adventure and add a character to it. Also managed to track down the window using the sticky you mentioned (EQUI_DynamicZoneWnd).
Zeus - had forgotten about the /windows command to track the window, now to hone in on the button I need (think it's DZ_Leader_Add). Will play around with it when I get home from work and post the results.

I was initially thinking I would have to do something like /click left MouseX MouseY, and was looking for how to figure out the X and Y coords of the button, but this should yield a better solution. For my own knowledge, can you determine your current mouse position (something like /echo ${Mouse.X} ${Mouse.Y})?

I know there is no MQ2 Data type of Mouse, just curious how you would track down screen coords

Since I know that Xylobot has a function in it to tell you your mouse x and y location on screen, I know it has to be possible. You'd have to look in the manual. I think I've seen things about the mouse in there, not just button pushes.
