Have you ever tried, what Cristian suggested? According to the docs, this method is even a class-method, so try: [NSEvent mouseLocation]... this should give you the current mouse location.

BTW, your code CANT really work, as far as I see, since your event is a -> keyUp <- event, so how can you ask for the CLICK position? locationInWindow will return the location of the view receiving the key event in that case; which for you is your window!


No, it's not that simple !

Well, dont be too sure bout that and just try what I say above!

Look what I'm trying to do :
- I'm popping up a menu at mouseDown on a view.
- if the user pressed ESCAPE, the menu disappears but since that moment, my beloved view doesn't receive
mouseMoved events anymore. So, I need to make it first responder again only if the mouse is still inside.
- Because of that, I'm capturing keyUp, and I'm performing my first responder mambo-jambo in there.
- this is the code, if anybody has a slightest idea, please let me know.

(BTW, not receiving mouseMoved anymore after a context menu is dismissed is a cocoa bug, if anybody from there reads this)

- (void)keyUp:(NSEvent *)theEvent
{

NSString * tString;
unichar tChar;
tString= [theEvent characters];
NSLog(@"Key pressed");
tChar=[tString characterAtIndex:0];
if (tChar == 27)
{
NSPoint clickPoint = [theEvent locationInWindow];
NSPoint aPoint = [self convertPoint:clickPoint fromView:nil];

NSLog(@" Escape Pressed ! The mouse is at : %f, %f",clickPoint.x, clickPoint.y); // NOPE IT IS NOT,
// clickPoint contains the origin of my window

// main window is first respoder
[[self window] setAcceptsMouseMovedEvents: NO];
[[self window] makeFirstResponder:[self window]];

// NEVER INSIDE
if (NSPointInRect(aPoint, [self bounds]))
{
NSLog(@"Escape Pressed ! AND THE MOUSE IS INSIDE");
// my view is first respoder
[[self window] setAcceptsMouseMovedEvents: YES];
[[self window] makeFirstResponder:self];
}
// else
// NSLog(@" Escape Pressed ! AND THE MOUSE IS OUTSIDE");
}
[[self window] resetCursorRects];
[[self window] invalidateCursorRectsForView:self];

}

I think it's [[NSApp currentEvent] mouseLocation];

How can I get the position of the mouse at any time in an application ?
I need to know the position of the mouse while I am inside keyUp of keyDown and
the event received by these methods doesn't contains a valid mouse position.
