In vb6 when you wanted to alter the effect of a mouse click, you could use the mouse down event and alternate the action depending on the value of the shift, control and alternate key. (and also detecting if the right or left mouse button was clicked)
When trying these in my project, I couldn't find the right codes to do this. I can't imagine this feature isn't available so I'm sure I am just messing up somehow.

how to view and populate a listview with a text file. Now I come seeking wisdom on how do create an effect based upon the location where a mousedown event occured.
Here is my example. (I like to give simple examples because it helps me learn rather than be given the answer and learn nothing).
I am working in vb.net, in a windows form. I have a map of Western Europe called picturebox1.
I want another form to pop up when a user clicks on a section of picturebox1. For example: I want a "Germany" form to pop up when the user clicks on Germany. And such for if France, Spain, Italy, Austria, England, Scotland, etc...based on the location of the mousedown event.
Historically, when working with a picturebox with sections that were rectangle, I would do little screenshots and overlay them over the picturebox and use that as a cheat.
The challenge here is that the countries are polygons and now I need to learn this for real. I am looking for a little direction on where to go to learn about a mousedown event that causes an effect based upon the location of the mousedown event.
This can be a challenge because each country is of different x, y location coordinates so I image I need to create an elaborate if or case statement to capture and evalute. However, I don't know how to acquire the coordinates of a mousedown.

View 9 RepliesIm currently writing a program to control a Velleman k8055 usb interface, i started by assigning keyDown and Keysup to control outputs. this worked fine, now ive added buttons to control the same outputs with MouseDown and Mouseup. however when i start to debug, the mouseup and mousedown works fine, but not the keys? is there a special code to use them with one another.
Heres some of the codes for each..

Another little problem.I have a form with a control (Picturebox or perhaps flash) which uses graphic hotspots instead of controls with handles so when the control receives a mouseclick, it does different things depending on the coordinates of the click.I can obtain the handle for the main control and can see where the hotspots are as they look like buttons and set a point to that location.How can I send a mouseclick (WM_Mousedown?) to the precise point on the control?If I'm not mistaken, using Sendmessage with BM_Click would tell the control it was clicked but without coordinates.I'm trying to do this using Visual Basic from Visual Studio 2008
View 6 RepliesIs it possible to handle a mouseDown event in VB.Net (2008) regardless of the control firing the mouseDown event? Basically, I just want to catch a mouseDown event at the "form level" and don't want to program mouseDown event handlers in every control. Is there a way to do this?
View 2 RepliesDuring a MouseDown event, I issue a DoDragDrop. In the subsequent DragDrop event, I call a DLL to update a Ms-Access database. The SQL is in error so there is an exception. I can catch the exception in the DLL but not in the MouseDown event. Stangely without any try block, stepping over the ExecuteNonQuery() returns me to the line next to the DoDragDrop without the debugger stopping on the exception. In release mode, the exception is completely ignored. There are posts talking about event being "indirect" but I dont understand.

I want to implement basic finger gestures within one of my apps, but have got stuck at the first hurdle. There are a few examples on the net, but they seem to use custom controls that do not allow easy use of other controls. I really just need a way to capture the MouseDown/Up methods even through a child control, still allowing clicks to be captured by whatever control has been clicked.

is it possible to draw an accurate circle in vb.net with mouseDown and mouseUp boundaries? I only manage to create circle-settings with rectangular boundaries using DrawEllipse. I've tried to work around it using pythagoras but it just doesn't work and I'm pretty sure I've got my maths right...
Is it possible to define a circle with DrawEllipse(pencil,x1,y1,width,length) ?
in a winform, in vb net,I have a list view with hoverselection set to true. I start a drag and drop operation when the mousedown event is fired, but it's fired only when i release the mouse button on the control or on the dropped control!

I'm working with a project that is WPF and VB.net. I want to visually simulate "dragging" an object (though I do not want to use standard drag and drop for reason of purpose).Basically, I have a label object that, on its MouseDown event, I want it to follow the mouse cursor inside a 640x480 solid-size grid (but not outside of it!). Mind you, this grid is centered inside a full-screen window. Again, the object should not follow the mouse outside of the grid (I'm guessing a "ClipToBounds = True" here)Then, on the label's MouseUp event, I want it to either stay in its current position or return to its original position, as determined by the value of a boolean variable set by another object's MouseEnter property.Note, if it would be easier to work with, I can change the grid to a canvas in a cinch. I'm guessing that would be desirable.
How do I make the object (label) follow the mouse cursor inside the grid/canvas, but not outside of it? This needs to happen on the MouseDown event of the label.How do I make the object "stick" in its current position? (From this, I can probably figure out how to make it return to its original position on my own.

Trying to develop a text editor, I've got two textboxes, and a button below each one.When the button below textbox1 is pressed, it is supposed to convert the Unicode text (intended to be Japanese) to Shift-JIS.The reason why I am doing this is because the software VOCALOID2 only allows ANSI and Shift-JIS encoding text to be pasted into the lyrics system. Users of the application normally have their keyboard set to change to Japanese already, but it types in Unicode.How can I convert Unicode text to Shift-JIS when SJIS isn't available in the System.Text.Encoding types?
