How can I find the cursor position by coordinates ( X, Y ) relative to the screen, without resorting to Windows.Forms ?

    WPF has a Mouse class that has a GetPosition method. You can use the PointToScreen method to get the cursor position relative to the screen .

     private void MainWindow_OnMouseMove(object sender, MouseEventArgs e) { var windowPosition = Mouse.GetPosition(this); var screenPosition = this.PointToScreen(windowPosition); this.Title = string.Format("{0} --- {1}", windowPosition, screenPosition); }

    Or as another option - use PInvoke .

    • @ArthurEdgarov The method of the method can be applied to the result of the method PointToScreen msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/… - ApInvent
    • @ApInvent: You would give a snippet of code so you don’t have to read comments. - VladD
