i would like to know if there was a way to keep showing the live mouse position on a tkinter window. I know how to find mouse coordinates.
x, y = win32api.GetCursorPos()
mousecords = Label(self.root, text='x : ' + str(x) + ', y : ' + str(y))
mousecords.place(x=0, y=0)
But I need the label to keep updating as and when the mouse moves. Help will be appreciated Thank you!
This will only update the Label
when the mouse is inside the tkinter window:
No need to use win32api, tkinter has it built in. We can bind a function to root
's <Motion>
key and use the given positional argument event
to retrieve the coordinates of the mouse.
from tkinter import Tk, Label
root = Tk()
label = Label(root)
label.pack()
root.bind("<Motion>", lambda event: label.configure(text=f"{event.x}, {event.y}"))
root.mainloop()
