How to use dpg.get_mouse_pos() to get current global (x,y) position?

[CodeCox]

I'm expecting dpg.get_mouse_pos() to return the current global (x,y) coordinates in the code block below. But It always returns [0.0, 0.0]. What is the correct usage?

import dearpygui.dearpygui as dpg

dpg.create_context()
dpg.create_viewport()
dpg.setup_dearpygui()
dpg.show_viewport()

while dpg.is_dearpygui_running():

    # Always ouputs [0.0, 0.0] ?
    print(dpg.get_mouse_pos())

    dpg.render_dearpygui_frame()

dpg.destroy_context()

PS.

• same issue with get_drawing_mouse_pos
• If I register a mouse_move_handler then I correctly get the (x,y) position in the data parameter of the callback function! )

Hi, by default the mouse position is local to an imgui window. You need to set it false, i.e.:

print(dpg.get_mouse_pos(local=False))
