Forms - How To Capture Cursor And Keep It In A Control
Jan 28, 2009
In my app I have a pause and continue button. I capture the last active control when pause is clicked, change the Backcolor to let the user know where they were, from blue to red and leave the cursor there. What I would like to do without disabling and enabling all the controls on the form is to keep the cursor in the LastActiveControl no matter what until the continue button is clicked. In other words, tab, enter key, mouse click or nothing will make the cursor move until continue is clicked. Sound possible?

How do I get the name of the (topmost?) control at the cursor position? The background: I implemented drag'n'drop from a dgv to a label and need to identify the control where the mouse button is released. I have enabled dropping on the label where the drop is going to take place. However, this label is the parent of say a hundred labels that are created dynamically in codebehind (I use this way to create a "dataview"). Therefore, I need to know which of these "child" labels the user drops the data onto.
I can get the mouseposition without problems (Me.PointToClient(Cursor.Position).ToString), but as I said, I can't get the name/text/ID of the control the user dropped the data on. Also, I ned to get the child control's name/ID/Text, not the parent label of course.In addition, it seems as if I can't select the row I click on in the dgv anymore, after I implemented the DoDragDrop on the CellMouseDown event. Any ideas? Should I use another event?

I have a user control, and want to be able to update its cursor while it is disabled. For example, say that I have a user control whose cursor is Default. The below code works ONLY when the user control is already enabled; if it is disabled the below code doesn't work and the cursor remains Default: Me.MY_USER_CONTROL.Cursor = System.Windows.Forms.Cursors.WaitCursor

im using this code
Dim VideoSize As Size = New Size(My.Computer.Screen.Bounds.Width, My.Computer.Screen.Bounds.Height)
Dim PIC As New Bitmap(My.Computer.Screen.Bounds.Width, My.Computer.Screen.Bounds.Height)
Dim image As System.Drawing.Graphics = System.Drawing.Graphics.FromImage(PIC)
[code]...
How do I include the cursor with this and save all the screenshots as one video file?instead of saving as 1000 pics?

I've got a winform that has a button that runs an exe from the command prompt (process). Since the cmd window pops up and goes away so fast, I need to kno if there's a way to capture the messages that were sent in the cmd window, within my Windows form. (like make it write to a log file)

I'm developing a big VB.Net Winforms application. Every now and again, processing or db connections take some time and therefore I'd like a wait cursor (hourglass) to appear sometimes. I know I can do it like in this thread (in case someone needs the code):Hourglass?- technical discussion - developer Fusion - ASP.NET, C# Programming, VB.NET, .NET Framework, Java and Visual Basic Tutorials However, I have LOTS of code and I don't know when the user will need to wait. So, what I'd really want is to tell my ApplicationEvents file or the like to globally intercept after say 0.3 seconds and turn the arrow (default cursor) into the hourglass and at the same time disable mouse clicks and the like.

I want to have a counter that measures when a mouse enters/leaves a form. To that extent I used the .mouseenter/.mouseleave commands. This works to an extent. The problem is that moving the mouse over any controls inside a form count as existing it- I don't want this. Is there a way to define the controls as a part of the form? Meaning- if the mouse was over one of my labels- it would count as being within the form. A less elegant way to measure form access could be to use the form positioning, and define capture any mouse movement within it.

I am trying to use a windows form as a custom contextmenu which is fine as I have done a form with translucent background colour. However the problem is that I am having problems displaying the form at my cursor position. I have a mdi chaild form in my app and when I right click I want to display my custom contextmenu form at the point where I right click in the mdichild form. The only other thing is that I want the middle of the form to be displayed at the cursor point.

currently I have a Customer Master screen. Inside the screen, I have a button which call the Customer sub window.
When I call the sub window, I want the set the cursor at Textbox1.
The problem is, when I call the window for 1st time, the cursor stops at Textbox1. When I call the window for 2nd or 3rd time, the cursor stops at other textbox or buttons inside the sub window.
Seems like Textbox1.focus is not working.

I have a form with many, many buttons but lets say ten, and I have named them one, two, three all the way up to ten. When I move the mouse over one of them, I want the name of it to appear on a label. When I move away the label should be empty. So when I point (not click) on "Three" that's what the label should say, and if I move on to the next button the label should read "Four"... I'm sure you get my point.
As you can see, what I really want is to get the name of the button under the cursor and store that name as a string, and then use that string to make things happen. With only ten buttons I can easily write ten MouseHover events, and ten MouseLeave events, one for each button, but that defeats the purpose of my question. I want to be able to write only one Hover and one Leave event and the use it for how many buttons I choose to use in my application.

I'm working on a UNO (Msn-based) online gaming tool - you know the card game. It's the second version with more features for UNO fans. I would like to get the screenshot function to work.
It's just as simple as this: The UNO main window
The screenshot viewer shows the screenshot of the active window (which appears by clicking on "Screenshot"): (This form is named as "Screenshot", the Picture Box "myPictureBox")
My question is, which code do I need to bind these functions. I think the pictures are describing this good enough. (The "save screenshot"-button is ToolStripButton1, the button for making screenshot is ToolStripButton10).

I want to capture the image of my webbrowser, or actually just a part of it.I already achieved it, but it just takes a screenshot of it instead of capturing the bitmap itself. So when i use this technique and you drag another window above it, the window is also captured. (this is what I don't want.)
My code:
' 1. Get the WebBrowsers bitmap.
Dim bmp As New Bitmap(WebBrowser1.Width, WebBrowser1.Height)
Dim BMPEndResult As Bitmap
Dim graph As Graphics = Graphics.FromImage(bmp)
[code]....
So I need to get the image of the webbrowser:
- without the scrollbars if possible
- Even if the window is minimized or in the task bar
- Full webbrowser
- and also if possible just a part of it, where I can specify the top, left, width and height

I have a form with lot of coding and enabling/disabling control depends on different vales and condition distributed in many places, some as sub and sum as click event. My problem is I have form, using typed dataset and not using the wizard navigator, I placed buttons. When I run the form, all the control should be disabled (that is ok), when I press (navigation next button) which has the following code inside
btn_pressed = "nav"
bs_ticket.MoveNext
The above code, should get the next record(that is ok) plus enabling 5 controls (not ok). Where is the code that is enabling those controls. Is there is a way to capture the enabling of the control by debug or runtime?

I am having a problem where I am on a text box and try to click a button that will bring up some reports. Since my cursor is still on the text box it doesn't go through the "Leave" and so what I entered into the text box is not saved (this happens in "Leave"). I have read previously not to use "Lost Focus" because it causes problems when you leave the form it triggers the "Lost Focus" on on the fields and just in general to use "Leave" rather than "Lost Focus". Is there a way to force my way through the "Leave"? I also don't know which field my cursor could be on (there are probably 20 text box or combo box fields on this form.

I have a test app driven by bluetooth serial events In my form load code I hide the cursor so it doesn't get in the way of pictures (fullscreen) When one event is called by bluetooth, it brings up a msgbox and the user has to click OK. I tried Windows.Forms.Cursor.Show() but it doesn't work.
I'm guessing it's something to do with delegates and events and the form, but the debugger doesn't complain at any point. It just refuses to show the cursor. How can I get my serialport event to show the cursor? And then hide it after?

I have several UserControls in an ASP:Repeater. They are 'Add to basket' User Controls with a text input for quantity and a button to add the item to the basket.
My problem is the value is being reset to 1 whenever I enter a value into the quantity text box. I think this is happening because the containing page reinitialised the repeater (which holds the UserControls) and the quantity is one again before the UserControl's click event is fired.
how to capture the value in the textbox before the Postback occurs, I am happy to stick this data in a session for now.
I am thinking I need something along the lines of PreLoad? But that didn't work for me

I have a single series bar chart created programmatically in codebehind which I would like to display the Y point value (somewhere above the bar, or maybe as a tooltip) when the user hovers their mouse over a bar.
Is there a native onmouseover event for the bars of the chart, or is it something that should be added through series.MapAreaAttributes?
I've found the points.tooltip attribute which I can add at the same time I add the point which will do what I want it to do, but it would still be nice to know if you can capture events for the bars, just for future reference.

I would like to find out if it is possible to read or capture the name of control the mouse is hovering over on any window. I have tried to research it and maybe using win32 or looking for accessibility info I'd like to be able to have similar functionality in my app as the inspect32 application that Microsoft has at sysinternals that can do this, I want to know if a user hovers over a control (in any window or part of the Windows O.S.) for a while, if longer than a certain time then capture that..
