The [_MOUSEY](_MOUSEY) function returns the current vertical (row) mouse cursor position when read after [_MOUSEINPUT](_MOUSEINPUT).
## Syntax
> pixelRow% = [_MOUSEY](_MOUSEY)
## Description
* [SCREEN](SCREEN) 0 returns the [INTEGER](INTEGER) vertical text row position (from build 20170817/62 onward); older versions return a [SINGLE](SINGLE) vertical text row position. Use [INTEGER](INTEGER) variables to avoid floating decimal returns.
* Graphic screen modes 1, 2 and 7 to 13 and [_NEWIMAGE](_NEWIMAGE) 32 bit return the [INTEGER](INTEGER) pixel columns.
* To calculate text rows in graphic modes divide the return by 16 or the [_FONTHEIGHT](_FONTHEIGHT) of [_FONT](_FONT) characters.
* [_MOUSEINPUT](_MOUSEINPUT) must be used to detect any changes in the mouse position and is **required** for any coordinate returns.
## QBasic
* In [SCREEN](SCREEN) 0, QBasic's [ABSOLUTE](ABSOLUTE) returned graphic coordinates. QB64 mouse functions return the text coordinates.
## Example(s)
Highlighting a row of text in Screen 0.
```vb
minX = 20: maxX = 60: minY = 10: maxY = 24
selection = 0 'the screen Y coordinate of the previously highlighted item
FOR i% = 1 TO 25: LOCATE i%, 40: PRINT i%;: NEXT
DO: _LIMIT 100
IF _MOUSEINPUT THEN
'Un-highlight any selected row
IF selection THEN selectRow selection, minX, maxX, 0
x = _MOUSEX
y = _MOUSEY
IF x >= minX AND x <= maxX AND y >= minY AND y <= maxY THEN
selection = y
ELSE
selection = 0
END IF
'Highlight any selected row
IF selection THEN SelectRow selection, minX, maxX, 2
IF _MOUSEBUTTON(1) THEN LOCATE 1, 2: PRINT x, y, selection
END IF
LOOP UNTIL INKEY$ <> ""
SUB SelectRow (y, x1, x2, col)
DEF SEG = &HB800
addr& = (x1 - 1 + (y - 1) * _WIDTH) * 2 + 1
FOR x = x1 TO x2
oldCol = PEEK(addr&) AND &B10001111 ' Mask foreground color and blink bit
POKE addr&, oldCol OR ((col AND &B111) * &B10000) ' Apply background color
addr& = addr& + 2
NEXT
END SUB
```
