I am working on a contract to repair problems in a application that interfaces with a custom built digitizer tablet.The application recognizes the tablet at startup, initiates calibration to locate the pad limits and then saves those limits to file.During the run of the application the user has a cursor that is changed to a line with a X on the left hand side of it. The user then uses this custom cursor to click in a PDF document where they would like the contents of the Digitizer pad to be placed. When they click a box signifying the size of the digitizer pad along with the same blank and X appears. What I have been having issue with is that the box and the line with the X appear most of the time but on occasion the line and X appears at either the top or bottom of the box and the click is no longer at the line with the X but somewhere in the middle of the box. This really screws up things and often the user has to uninstall and re-install the application to get it righted.
The values that save the calibration points are bound to variables during the build process, there is a separate routine to calibrate the digitizer pad if the user desires to do it again.
Public Structure IconInfo
Public fIcon As Boolean
Public xHotspot As Integer[code]......
I have a custom cursor for the user to allow them to position text in PDF files. For the most part there never seems to be a problem, but a choice few people are seeing massive problems with this.
One particular client loads the program, and then loads a PDF document into it. Once the program has loaded when the user clicks he either doesn't get a custom cursor or the signiture blank that is to show up is above the frame that is to surround the blank.
The user is using Windows XP on a laptop and the software re-renders the cursor and box every time. There is a signiture tablet that the user buys to connect to this software, and the user also has expressed problems with the Tablet not staying connected.
I can provide pictures of the changes and code if anyone would like to tackle this?
I added an ICON (called pencil) file in my resources in vb.net, I tried several codes to change the cursor... like this
Public Class Form1 Dim ms As New System.IO.MemoryStream(My.Resources.pencil) Private Sub Form1_Load(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles MyBase.Load
Is there a way to tell which mouse shape/cursor is currently active? I've been playing around with Cursor.Current but I can't figure it out.I don't even know if Cursor.
This VS010 solution is not providing my intended outcome as a custom override of a 'crosshair' or 'reticle' cursor e.Graphics.DrawPath() is the function that isn't working. This
WORKING solution demonstrates how it's supposed to work. The additonal PictureBox added to a Panel is, for reasons I don't understand, not allowing the 'new' cursor to appear.

How would I go about changing the actual shape of the RichTextBox caret?
I have tried using the CreateCaret and ShowCaret API calls, but they only seem to work with normal text boxes. Is there any way to modify them so they work with RichTextBoxes?
im trying to make an ovalshape change colour when i click a button?
Private Sub Button1_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Button1.Click If TextBox1.Text = "hello" Then OvalShape1.FillColor = Color.Red
I want to create some custom shapes for MS Office which we can use in house. For example I want to create a shape named "carton box" which have three - four default places where user can add some text. It is same as other shapes or I would say just like shapes (line, flowchart, arrow etc) in MS office 2007.
Is there any way to create and reuse such a new objects, also if user don't have these shape in their toolbox and get a document which includes these shapes; he should be able to see it (defiantly in read only).
Background - I am a .NET developer and also having small knowedge of MS office development in .NET.
I am looking to build some small custom buttons. I want to keep it simple and give them a gradient backgroud and use grey colours to illustrate shapes on them. Very similar to the buttons you see in Excel/Power Point/Word 2007 at the bottom right of the screen. The buttons are next to the slider bar which increaes the view % of the screen. These buttons are grouped together and have different combinations of squares/rectangles on them for viewing options Any idea where to start with the shapes?
I want to be able to create a custom shape that holds icons. Lets say for simplicity that it is a sqaure. I need the ability to load up to X amount of icons in the square. Lets say I need up to 6 icons. These icons will always be the same. However not all custom shapes will need them. I am assuming that I have to create a custom shape object class. I also want the icons to automatically adjust in size when I change the size of the shape. I am guessing that one way to do this would be to drop a TableLayoutPanel into the shape and then dock it to the shape. Then set the dock property of the icon to the cell that it resides into within the TableLayoutPanel in the shape. The number of rows/columns of the TableLayoutPanel would be predicated on the number of icons needed.
I have been using custom shapes for some time now but the pixels always have to be 100% solid or it mixes with the color I have set as transparent and its starting to get a bit annoying. Is there any way possible that I could take a png image with transparent pixels and use that as my custom shape without the transparent pixels becoming that color I chose? This is what I have: I want to put my image as the background without the purple being where the transparent pixels are. Me.Backcolor = Color.Purple Me.Transparencykey = Color.Purple
I am currently writing a custom control, for a future project. The control uses custom cursors, but sometimes this strange error appears: Code generation for property 'Cursor' failed. Error was 'CursorConverter' is unable to convert 'System.Windows.Forms.Cursor' to 'System.ComponentModel.Design.Serialization.InstanceDescriptor'.
I am trying to change the cursor type to a crosshair but am having no luck. The program I am writing initially starts up as taskbar notfiy icon. Once one of the menu items is clicked the mouse cursor should change from an arrow to crosshair. This should remain like this when the mouse button is pressed again, held and then released and then it should go back to being an arrow cursor once again.To start off, I wrote the following code:
Private Sub changeMouseCursor(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As EventArgs) Handles DisectMyScreenToolStripMenuItem.MouseLeave Cursor = Cursors.Cross End Sub
This does not work but do not understand as to why this is. Visual basic 10 on Windows 7 SP1. dot net framework 4.5 Beta?
Using VB on a graphics screen I want to have the cursor move on a grid as opposed to every pixel. I believe I must hide the cursor and then draw it myself over the background, but I do not understand how to do this.
i have have a MDI child form which have different textbox for criteria and a datagridview for result.When i launch the research i change the cursor : me.usewaitcursor = True when it finish i go back me.UseWaitCursor = False It works but some times (not all the time) if you move the cursor over the datagridview during the research, the cursor still in WaitCursor OVER the datagridview, it didn't go back to default but on the rest of the form is good (default arrow).I have tried whith : Me.cursor , cursor or cursor.current but i have the same result/problem.
This is maybe an weird question because I don't know if its possible so prepare .I am working on a project its a kinda autoclicker.It moves the cursor to positions and perform mouseclicks it all works perfectly.So when it runs you can't do something else on the pc because the cursor gets moved every 1-5 seconds.So I wanna now if its possible to kinda attach it to the program I am making it for so it moves the cursor and do clicks within the form of the program.
When I use the code Public Class Form1 Private Declare Function GetAsyncKeyState Lib "user32" (ByVal vKey As Integer) As Integer Private Sub Form1_Load(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles MyBase.Load [Code] ..... I get an error saying that the cursor format may be wrong. It is a .cur which is the standard for cursors. How to rewrite this so when GetAsyncKeyState(1) then the computers cursor will change to the currentcursor.
I created 3 web browsers (the web browsers is not visible) thet refresh themselves all 2 secondsbut now the cursor change to "AppString" and return to "default"now In every 2 seconds it happening again.
I am using VB.NET and I would really like to know how to change the Default Wait Cursor, as well as all the other cursors.I can currently change the normal cursor for my form with the following code:
I have a set of cursors (.cur files) that I want to use with my WPF/VB.net application, without changing the cursors system-wide. I am assuming that I would somehow use each WPF object's "cursor" property, but I'm not sure how to use my own cursors.
The Cursor Class Does Not Support Color cursors. Anyone know how to get around this so I can use my custom embedded color cursor? If you want something you've never had, you need to do something you've never done.
How to make custom cursor for my application from image file .jpg or .png or .gif to work on everything, clicking on buttons, textfields the cursor to be on everything
I created a custom cursor ("Cursor.cur") and added it to the 'Resources' folder of my project. I'm trying to set it up so that this cursor is shown when button1 is "mouse down". Here is the code...
