This has gone on long enough. I honestly don't care who's right,
but can you please take this off-list?
Thank you very much,

believing there's no way to do it.
Your willful disregard of the very next sentence after the bit you
quoted does not serve to illuminate anything. Here, again, is the
whole thing:
(C) How do I know where the mouse is, in the absence of (prior to
receiving) a mouse-related event?
-- There is not, afaik, any Cocoa frameworks function or method that
gets the mouse location other than from a NSEvent. (It may exist
and I
just haven't found it.)
-- Getting the current mouse location using Carbon (if there is a
function for that) isn't the answer, because that's going to tell me
where the mouse is *right now in real time*, while the information I
need is where the mouse is *synchronized with the event stream*. (If
I'm about to receive a flood of mouseMoved: or mouseDragged:
messages,
I want to know where the mouse is before them, not after. Unreceived
messages represent the future, I'm still in the present.)
I know you think that the real-time location is all that matters, but
you are wrong, and I think it's important to make that plain, because
you seem to be seeking to obfuscate it.
