CrossHairs

CrossHairs fakes a crosshairs cursor. Useful to line up text when comparing two documents, or to align objects on screen.

Left-clicking at some position, will leave a small window with the current x and y pixel positions displayed. Left-clicking again will turn it off, allowing you to position it elsewhere, for example. A right-click exits the program.

Requires the Qptr toolkit! or, suitably modified, any toolkit with keywords equivalent to SCR_XLIM, SCR_YLIM and RPTR. Also the TK2 keyword FOPEN is used, but may be modified to an OPEN construct.

This program must be compiled, or be run as an Sbasic job. Best used from a hotkey eg (alt+ctrl+x):

ERT HOT_RES1("«", "win1_util_scr_CrossHairs", "X")
