Welcome folks today in this blog post we will be displaying mouse screen position coordinates inside input textbox in wxpython gui  desktop app in python All the full source code of the application is given below.

Get Started

In order to get started you need to install the below library using the pip command as shown below

pip install wxpython

After installing this library you need to make an app.py file and copy paste the following code

app.py

#!/bin/env python
import wx

class MyFrame(wx.Frame):

    def __init__(self):
        wx.Frame.__init__(self, None, -1, "My Frame", size=(300, 300))
        panel = wx.Panel(self, -1)
        panel.Bind(wx.EVT_MOTION,  self.OnMove)
        wx.StaticText(panel, -1, "Pos:", pos=(10, 12))
        self.posCtrl = wx.TextCtrl(panel, -1, "", pos=(40, 10))

    def OnMove(self, event):
        pos = event.GetPosition()
        self.posCtrl.SetValue("%s, %s" % (pos.x, pos.y))

if __name__ == '__main__':
    app = wx.PySimpleApp()
    frame = MyFrame()
    frame.Show(True)
    app.MainLoop()

If you execute the above python script by typing the below command

python app.py

Now it will tell you the exact position of your mouse in terms of x and y coordinates inside the textbox
