Thread: How to get Mouse Click Position even if it is not within our application?

Hi I am interested how I can get mouse click position even if it is not within my application?. I know about MouseInfo class but its provide only mouse position but not click position. Is there any way in java to do get this info ?

You might find this discussion interesting.

The MouseEvent may have some useful methods
-Edit- Ya I missed the "not within my application" part

Hello.
No. You can do it without any ddl or jni.

  import java.awt.MouseInfo;
  import java.awt.Point;
  import java.awt.PointerInfo;
 
  PointerInfo inf = MouseInfo.getPointerInfo();
  Point p = inf.getLocation();
  System.out.println("(x,y):("+p.x+","+p.y+")");
