How to get dynamic cursor's location?

leonlee
leonlee over 15 years ago

Hello everybody,

 I'd like to get the dynamic cursor location in a program, and take it as a variant. But I can't find the command or solution.

 Is there any SKILL command, which returns dynamic cursor's xy location? Like as AxlEnterPoint or AxlLastPick to get the point data .

Have a good day!

    Good solution.

    Comments:

    axlDllOpen, axlDllSym, axlDllClose are not supported in Allegro V15.5.

    Are these commands used in V16.2 only?

    leonlee, the axlDll* functions were added in v16.0.
