Get Mouse Coordinates in LabVIEW

To obtain the coordinates of the mouse in LabVIEW, you can follow these steps:

  1. Open LabVIEW and create a new VI.
  2. In the Block Diagram, navigate to Functions » User Interface » Mouse to search for the Mouse VI, then drag it onto the Block Diagram from the search results.
  3. To create an Event structure, right-click on Mouse VI and select Create»Event Structure.
  4. In the Event structure, select the event Mouse VI (such as Mouse Move) and connect it to the termination point of the While Loop.
  5. Connect the coordinates output of Mouse VI (such as X and Y coordinates) to other code modules inside the While Loop for further processing or display.

In this way, you can track the mouse coordinates while it moves within the LabVIEW window using a While Loop. Additional operations can be added to the coordinate processing code, such as updating UI elements or performing other calculations, as needed.
