Mouse coordinates on Python with PySimpleGUI


I'm trying to get the mouse coordinates, with pynput, and see it with a GUI with PySimpleGUI but I am getting a lot of problens, and I don't know how can I do this.

I want to show the mouse coordinates at the "x - y" string below

import PySimpleGUI as sg
from pynput import mouse

sg.theme("DarkAmber")

layout = [[sg.Text("Mouse Coord")],
          [sg.Text("x - y")]]

window = sg.Window("Mouse Coord 1.0", layout, keep_on_top = True)

while True:
    event, values = window.read()
    print(event, values)

    if event == sg.WIN_CLOSED or event == 'Exit':
        break

window.close()

Solution

  • Not sure why you need the mouse coordinate, following code demo the way to get it by PySimpleGUI.

    import PySimpleGUI as sg
    
    sg.theme("DarkAmber")
    
    layout = [[sg.Text("Mouse Coord:"), sg.Text(size=20, key='Coordinate')]]
    window = sg.Window("Mouse Coord", layout, finalize=True)
    window.bind('<Motion>', 'Motion')
    
    while True:
    
        event, values = window.read()
    
        if event == sg.WIN_CLOSED:
            break
        elif event == 'Motion':
            e = window.user_bind_event
            window['Coordinate'].update(f'({e.x}, {e.y})')
    
    window.close()
    

    enter image description here

    You can get the screen coordinate by e.x_root and e.y_root, like

            window['Coordinate'].update(f'({e.x_root}, {e.y_root})')
    

    The '<Motion>' in tkinter only work when mouse on the tkinter window, following code demo the way using pynput library to capture the motion event, then pass it to PySimpleGUI.

    from pynput.mouse import Listener
    import PySimpleGUI as sg
    
    
    def on_move(x, y):
        window.write_event_value('Motion', (x, y))
    
    sg.theme("DarkAmber")
    
    layout = [[sg.Text("Mouse Coord:"), sg.Text(size=20, key='Coordinate')]]
    window = sg.Window("Mouse Coord", layout, finalize=True, enable_close_attempted_event=True)
    
    listener = Listener(on_move=on_move)
    listener.start()
    
    while True:
    
        event, values = window.read()
    
        if event == sg.WINDOW_CLOSE_ATTEMPTED_EVENT:
            listener.stop()
            break
        elif event == 'Motion':
            x, y = values[event]
            window['Coordinate'].update(f'({x}, {y})')
    
    window.close()
