In the past I was looking for a 'process' to read the X,Y information from a
mouseclick.
It is available in Schematic but I couldn't find it in PCB.

It would be a nice feature, not only for placing the spiral but also for
other situations.

It could be used to 'construct' points which are based on other points.
Examples:
        Click two points and let Client Basic calculate the midpoint.
        Click the Start and EndPoint of two tracks and let Client Basic
calculate the point where the tracks cross.

Ik never used the SDK, this function might be a nice starting project.
The problem is that I only have Visual C++ from Microsoft and not the Delphi
software.

How big are the problems? Do I need all the headers if I only want to have
acces to the mouseclick position  in PCB?
