Question

How can I get in Mac OS X \"global\" mouse position - I mean how can I in cocoa/cf/whatever find out cursor position even if it\'s outside the window, and even if my window

Answer 1

NSPoint mouseLoc;
mouseLoc = [NSEvent mouseLocation]; //get current mouse position
NSLog(@"Mouse location: %f %f", mouseLoc.x, mouseLoc.y);

If you want it to continuously get the coordinates then make sure you have an NSTimer or something similar
