Gui Position at mouse coordinates

[PaLmeTToX]

Hello All

 

I have an idea that i would like to create a gui that pops up when the middle mouse click & alt is pressed. When pressed a second time it disappears.  I would like it to use the MouseGetPos() value to place the gui at the cursor psosition. 

I am lost and not sure what to do. When I place $aPos = MouseGetPos() inside the loop to refresh the variable , i get error variable is not declared and wont run. When I place the $aPos = MouseGetPos() outside the loop it doesn't refresh the current mouse position and uses the mouse position coordinates at the start of the program and doesn't refresh.  Does anyone have any hints?

Func Example1()
    Local $msg
        Local $aPos = MouseGetPos()
     $GUI2 = GUICreate("CHILD", 110, 10, $aPos[0], $aPos[1]) ; will create a dialog box that when displayed is centered

    ; Run the GUI until the dialog is closed
    While 1
         Sleep(100)
        $msg = GUIGetMsg()
        
        If $msg = $GUI_EVENT_CLOSE Then ExitLoop

        If _IsPressed(04) AND _IsPressed(12) Then
            If BitAND(WinGetState($GUI2), 2) Then
                GUISetState(@SW_HIDE, $GUI2)
            Else
                GUISetState(@SW_SHOW, $GUI2)
            EndIf
        EndIf

    WEnd

    GUIDelete()
EndFunc   ;==>Example1

Thank you for your time

Nothing springs immediately to mind as to what might be wrong, looks fine except for I'd remove the sleep function.

Leave the Local $aPos = MouseGetPos() where it is and add $aPos = MouseGetPos() in loop.

Use WinMove to update its position, but only after a check to see if it has actually moved to avoid flicker.
