Solution

import sys
from PyQt5 import QtWidgets, QtGui, QtCore

class Example(QtWidgets.QMainWindow):
    def __init__(self):
        super(Example, self).__init__()
        self.initUI()
    def mousePressEvent(self, QMouseEvent):
        print(QMouseEvent.pos())
    def mouseReleaseEvent(self, QMouseEvent):
        cursor = QtGui.QCursor()
        print(cursor.pos())
    def initUI(self):
        qbtn = QtWidgets.QPushButton('Quit', self)
        qbtn.resize(qbtn.sizeHint())
        qbtn.move(50, 50)
        self.setGeometry(0, 0, 1024, 768)
        self.setWindowTitle('Quit button')
        self.setWindowFlags(self.windowFlags() | QtCore.Qt.FramelessWindowHint)
        self.show()
def main():
    app = QtWidgets.QApplication(sys.argv)
    ex = Example()
    sys.exit(app.exec_())
if __name__ == '__main__':
    main()

Output:

PyQt4.QtCore.QPoint(242, 285)
PyQt4.QtCore.QPoint(1741, 423)
PyQt4.QtCore.QPoint(439, 372)

Problem

I have 1024x768 resolution window, when there is a click or mouse over, i want to find the x, y values. How can i do that? ``` import sys from PyQt4 import QtGui, QtCore class Example(QtGui.QWidget): def __init__(self): super(Example, self).__init__() self.initUI() def initUI(self): qbtn = QtGui.QPushButton('Quit', self) #qbtn.clicked.connect(QtCore.QCoreApplication.instance().quit) qbtn.clicked.connect(self.test) qbtn.resize(qbtn.sizeHint()) qbtn.move(50, 50) self.setGeometry(0, 0, 1024, 768) self.setWindowTitle('Quit button') self.setWindowFlags(self.windowFlags() | QtCore.Qt.FramelessWindowHint) self.show() def test(self): print "show the position of mouse cursor in screen resolution: x is ?? , y is ??" def main(): app = QtGui.QApplication(sys.argv) ex = Example() sys.exit(app.exec_()) if __name__ == '__main__': main() ```
