Get Mouse Coordinates in LabVIEW
To obtain the coordinates of the mouse in LabVIEW, you can follow these steps:
- Open LabVIEW and create a new VI.
- 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.
- To create an Event structure, right-click on Mouse VI and select Create»Event Structure.
- In the Event structure, select the event Mouse VI (such as Mouse Move) and connect it to the termination point of the While Loop.
- 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.
