How To Get The Current Manipulator's Location

[rgkovach]

I'm relatively new to Mel scripting and I'm trying to create a simple HUD display that tells me how far i've moved a manipulator.

I'm having a bit of trouble trying to find out the current location of the Move Manipulator when I enter the Move tool.

I've trying searching the Mel Command Reference, the best thing i could come with is manipMoveContext. But since I don't know the name of the context created by the Move tool, I can't query it's location.

Any help or suggestions would be appreciated! thanks

currentCtx -q;
// Result: moveSuperContext //

awesome thanks for the quick reply!

i got another question however...
the command manipMoveContext doesn't recognize the moveSuperContext as a valid object.

currentCtx -q;
// Result: moveSuperContext //

manipMoveContext -q -mode moveSuperContext;
// Error: line 1: Object not found: moveSuperContext //

superCtx -q moveSuperContext ;
// Result: Move //
