Sets coordinate mode for various commands to be relative to either the active window or the screen.
CoordMode, ToolTip|Pixel|Mouse|Caret|Menu [, Screen|Relative]
| Param1 | ToolTip: Affects ToolTip. Pixel: Affects PixelGetColor, PixelSearch, and ImageSearch. Mouse: Affects MouseGetPos, Click, and MouseMove/Click/Drag. Caret: Affects the built-in variables A_CaretX and A_CaretY. Menu: Affects the "Menu Show" command when coordinates are specified for it. |
| Param2 | If Param2 is omitted, it defaults to Screen. Screen: Coordinates are relative to the desktop (entire screen). Relative: Coordinates are relative to the active window. |
If this command is not used, all commands except those documented otherwise (e.g. WinMove and InputBox) use coordinates that are relative to the active window.
Every newly launched thread (such as a hotkey, custom menu item, or timed subroutine) starts off fresh with the default setting for this command. That default may be changed by using this command in the auto-execute section (top part of the script).
Click, MouseMove, MouseClick, MouseClickDrag, MouseGetPos, PixelGetColor, PixelSearch, ToolTip, Menu
CoordMode, ToolTip, Screen ; Place ToolTips at absolute screen coordinates: CoordMode, ToolTip ; Same effect as the above because "screen" is the default.
