Hello,
I was wondering if anyone knows whither or not it is possible to determine the current cursor position of the current tool without using the Tool Suite.
In other words, I want to know the position of the cursor - regardless of the currently selected tool - not that of a custom tool. I hope it is possible, but I was not able to find anything...
I greatly appreciate any tips.

It is not possible, but it's quite easy to tap into the OS & use the AIDocumentViewSuite to translate global coordinates into document coordinates. We do something like this in our product so I can tell you it works. You just need to make sure you 'hook in' to the correct window -- namely the document window you'd like to track mouse movements in.
