Display mouse position in Silverlight 5, MVVM

For the record: I'm new to Silverlight and XAML.

I'm trying to simply display the mouse coordinates relative in my canvas (or any other element). After reading a lot on the subject, unfortunantly I havn't figured this our yet. My Silverlight 5 project uses MVVM with Caliburn micro.

How can this be done? Would Appreciate help on implementing this.

Thanks, Guy.

you have to catch the mouse click event and there are some event handlers you can use it to capture the position.

private void CadLayoutRoot_MouseLeftButtonUp(object sender, MouseButtonEventArgs e)
    {
                double point1 = e.GetPosition(bitmapCadView.UIElement).X;
                double point2 = e.GetPosition(bitmapCadView.UIElement).Y;
    }

To complete tnw Answer : You have to start mouse capture on object : MyElement.CaptureMouse()

In the handler method, you can use GetPosition on MouseEventArgs with an UIElement in parameter for relative coordinates...

public void Handle_MouseMove(object e, MouseEventArgs f)
{
     var point = f.GetPosition(MyElement);
}

You need to be a little more specific with what control you're trying to get this with, but have you tried wiring something up to the MouseMove event? Like MouseMove="Handle_MouseMove"

public void Handle_MouseMove(object sender, MouseEventArgs args) 
{
    mouseVerticalPosition = args.GetPosition(null).Y;
    mouseHorizontalPosition = args.GetPosition(null).X;
}

Is that what you're looking for?

If you want this to happen on the entire canvas, you can instead wire it up to PointerMoved

See MouseEventArgs. This can get you the X and Y position and it can be used with the MouseUp, MouseDown, and MouseMove events.
