    Thanks for the assistance everyone, I was able to get what I needed. Here's the script I wrote to get the current X & Y coordinates and double click the object at that point.

     

    var screenMouseX, screenMouseY, controlPoint, onscreenObj;

function double_click()
{

//Gets current mouse cursor coordinates on screen
screenMouseX = Sys.Desktop.MouseX;
screenMouseY = Sys.Desktop.MouseY;

Log.Message("X: " + screenMouseX + " Y: " + screenMouseY);

//gets the object below the mouse cursor
onscreenObj = Sys.ObjectFromPoint(screenMouseX,screenMouseY); 

//converts the screen coordinates to coordinates relative to the object
controlPoint = onscreenObj.ScreenToWindow(screenMouseX,screenMouseY);

Log.Message("objX: " + controlPoint.X + " objY: " + controlPoint.Y);

//double clicks the object from the converted coordinates
onscreenObj.DblClick(controlPoint.X,controlPoint.Y);

In addition to Ryan's answer, you can convert screen coordinates to object-relative coordinates using:

 

point = obj.ScreenToWindow(ScreenX, ScreenY)

By "cursor" .... do you mean the mouse pointer? In which case everything above should be all you need.

 

Or do you mean a text cursor? In which case, need to look for something else .....

    By cursor I was referring to the mouse pointer, yes.

      In which case, you're sorted. The previous replies should sort you out. :)
