[CALC] Read Mouse Screen coordinates and click anywhere

[ahlidap]

Hello all,

I'm relatively new to Basic, but I already have the skeletons of most things I need.
Only missing part it: Clicking.

I want to build something in Calc, that is capable of clicking outside the Calc window itself.

I will have a form for configuring the clicker coordinates, where I will have an input field with a keypress listener.
Anytyme I press some key ('r' for example) on that input field, it should read and store the mouse coordinates, wherever it is on the screen (so, even if it's outside calc).

Then I will "move and click" the mouse to stored coordinates.


I can achieve this easely in JAVA using java.awt.MouseInfo and java.awt.Robot, but after some research I have no idea how I can do this in Calc.
I can read mouse click coordinates if I click a button in a form for example, but it's a click, and coordinates are related to that button.


Is this possible to implement?


Many thanks in advance.
