    Hi

    Acad 2002.

    I need to read the screen coordinates as I drag my mouse around in my VBA
    routine for drawing a revision cloud. In lisp this was easy using grread.
    Does anyone know of a bodge for it?

    Thanks in advance.

    Dave

    If you're referring to the Coordinates that AutoCAD displays on it's status bar on the bottom left then one way to get it (if nobody has a better solution) might be through Windows API calls and/or something like the WM_GETTEXT message. The following information from Microsoft Spy++ may be useful for this:
      
    Handle: 00000B2C
    Caption: ""
    Class: Afx:400000:8:14ae:10:0
    Style: 54008200
