I'd use top level window positioning if this is a plug-in, as it can get resized within the host application and that'll break the spot. Best wishes.

Note! be warned! Jaws and offScreenModel reliability is not known for it's robustness. so reliability may be less than you would like it to be, using these methodologies to click at the right spot. obviously you can label your spot then, with the job that instance of the graphic, will do when you click it, which in fact was the whole initial reason prompting me to desire an app like hotSpotClicker in the first place. for those SITUATIONS where you had multiple instances of the same graphic, doing very different things, and you wanted a way to click on each one and label it, with it's own job at that location. tip2. if you find the FindGraphic iteration feature just tooooo unreliable, you might ditch that, and try using current Window, for the spot positioning mode instead. and, if that currentWindow containing this graphic/spot location, is uniquely identifiable enough with hsc, then you might have better reliability of hsc tracking that window, than you might obtain through the more touchy and more frontEnd, findGraphic method, which is apt to be somewhat unreliable due to OSM concerns in my view.
