Getting mouse coordinates

[nishant.4545]

I am writing a program wherein I need the coordinates of mouse pointer relative to screen. Using getX() and getY() method we get the x and y coordinates but that is relative to the current frame and to the screen. Is there any other method that returns the coordinates relative to screen? Plz help me

Which GUI library are you using?

I am using java swing for creating gui.

If Swing, are you getting the x and y with a MouseListener or MouseMotionListener? Or with the Toolkit class? If the first two, then the MouseEvent object passed can get you the Point on screen via the getLocationOnScreen() method. Toolkit's MouseInfo object gets location information that is relative to the screen coordinates.
