get coordinates by click

[deddi1999]

hi,

 

I'm an absolutely beginner with plugins like 360work ( groovy / java )!

 

I need help!

 

I want to do this:

 

in FM13 create a new window, have a top ( head )with some fields  and a body with a table. 

Now, by click ( f.e. the left button of the mouse ) I will get the X- and Y- coordinates of the mouse

then calculate with them and built a new window  ! ( it's like a popover - a little bit )

 

Is there a way to get the coordinates when clicking the mouse button on a FM-window ?

 

I need the X/Y -position in a script ?

 

 

can someone help?

If you do not need them in the script; just need to know them, Pixie has helped me several times: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Apple_Developer_Tools#Pixie

At the moment I know that one can read with Java or groovy mouse coordinates in a window. How this is feasible, nevertheless, in a Filemaker window and how the values are handed over then in script…..??

 

I'm still seeking an learning
