you could write a little tcl script to track the mouse position and send it to pd via socket...
but because of that window focus issue you would have to make your tcl window the size of the area you would like to track.
should be simple.

i wanted this too, but relative to the whole screen... and when we're at it, it seems (atleast on win32) that program thats "highlighted" has the mouse... so when wanted to convert mouse to midi with pd and then to use it on another prog (on same machine) is not possible... was also thinking on using 2mices, 1 for normal use and 1 for PD exclusiv, but i doubt this is possible :(

hi is there a way to get the mouse position and button down/ups in pd? like key/keyname. it should be the relative position inside the activated patch-window, but i dont want to use grid or gem. sme.
