Hello kiran,

That is an interesting request but unfortunately there is no public API to achieve that yet. I'll log a feature request so that we can expose some method or property to get that in future version of the framework.

How critical is that issue for you? Can you also elaborate on the test scenario you need this for?

Hi Konstantin Petkov,

Actually i neded to automate a flash application ( Farm Ville Game in Facebook).
But WebAii cant do that. So what i am planning is to make a utility Program through which i can define a boundary using mouse movement.

After this i will divide this boundary into equal number of Squares. And then i need to clik on the center of each square.
This is for automating ploughing, seeding and harvesting actions of Farmville game.

Is there any other mechanism through which i can get the current mouse location.

Thanks
Kiran

Hi kiran,

 In order to get the Mouse pointer position you can use the static Position property in System.Windows.Forms.Cursor class.

In order to do this follow these steps:
1. Add Reference to System.Windows.Forms dll to your project
2. Here is the code that will get the current mouse pointer:

var point = System.Windows.Forms.Cursor.Position;

Hope this helps.
