Get mouse track and coordinates using LabVIEW

[AJ.Geissler]

 1. Overview:

This VI performs draws the track that the mouse pointer peforms on the graph and set points in the graph when user clicks over it

2. Description: 

Get the coordinates of a mouse click or track the movement of the mouse are requirements that could be tough to handle if the properties of the event structure are unknown. In this example, it is shown how to use this structure and its properties to get the track of the mouse over a graph and get the coordinates of a mouse click. Both track and point coordinates will be represented in a XY Graph.

3. Requirements

• LabVIEW 2012 (or compatible)

4. Steps to Implement or Execute Code

1. Unzip "Click Points LabVIEW 2012 NIVerified"
2. Run Click Points LabVIEW 2012 NIVerified.vi
3. Position the mouse over the graph and move it. The track will be drawn in the XY Graph.
4. Click the mouse over the graph. The coordinates of this mouse click will be represented in the graph with the mouse track.
