if you mean x,y position of the window perhaps sendMessage can be used with a comnand to get coordinates (you'll also need to find the window)

MAYBE, to get and show window / screen coordinate position.
Something like...

Code:
f = createForm()
f.width = 200
f.height = 100

lx = createLabel(f)
lx.left = 10
lx.top =10
lx.caption = 'X-pos : '

ly = createLabel(f)
ly.left = lx.width + 50
ly.top =10
ly.caption = 'Y-pos : '

MPos_X = createLabel(f)
MPos_X.top = 10
MPos_X.left = 50
MPos_X.caption = '0'
MPos_X.Font.Color = '0x0311FF'
MPos_X.Font.Style = 'fsBold'

MPos_Y = createLabel(f)
MPos_Y.top = 10
MPos_Y.left = 130
MPos_Y.caption = '0'
MPos_Y.Font.Color = '0x0311FF'
MPos_Y.Font.Style = 'fsBold'

btn1 = createButton(f)
btn1.left = 10
btn1.top = 40
btn1.width = 100
btn1.height = 30
btn1.caption = 'Start Over'

f:show()
--------------
local x, y = getMousePos()
MPos_X.caption = tostring(x)
MPos_Y.caption = tostring(y)

---------------
function startOver()
x=0
y=0
setMousePos({x=0,y=0})
MPos_X.caption = tostring(x)
MPos_Y.caption = tostring(y)
z=createTimer(nil)
z.Interval=100
z.OnTimer=function(z)
--x.destroy()
--y.destroy()
local x, y = getMousePos()
MPos_X.caption = tostring(x)
MPos_Y.caption = tostring(y)
end
z.Enabled=true
end
---------------

btn1.onClick = startOver

Oh, then I don't know how to do it with lua. May something there in LuaAPI.
But, this code with VB to get coordinate running in process (external app) :

Code:
Imports System.Runtime.InteropServices

Public Class Form1
    <DllImport("user32.dll", EntryPoint:="FindWindowW")> _
    Private Shared Function FindWindowW(<MarshalAs(UnmanagedType.LPTStr)> ByVal lpClassName As String, <MarshalAs(UnmanagedType.LPTStr)> ByVal lpWindowName As String) As IntPtr
    End Function

    <DllImport("user32.dll", EntryPoint:="GetWindowRect")> _
    Private Shared Function GetWindowRect(ByVal hWnd As IntPtr, ByRef lpRect As RECT) As <MarshalAs(UnmanagedType.Bool)> Boolean
    End Function

    <StructLayout(LayoutKind.Sequential)> _
    Private Structure RECT
        Public left, top, right, bottom As Integer
    End Structure

    Private Sub Button1_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Button1.Click
        Dim hWnd As IntPtr = FindWindowW(Nothing, "untitled - notepad")
        If hWnd <> IntPtr.Zero Then
            Dim wr As New RECT
            GetWindowRect(hWnd, wr)
            MessageBox.Show("The window position is - X=" & wr.left.ToString & "  Y=" & wr.top.ToString)
        Else
            MessageBox.Show("Window not found")
        End If
    End Sub
End Class
