Forms :: Getting X,y Coordinates Using GetCursorPos From Anywhere On Screen

Apr 12, 2010

Here's the code thus far, excuse the other bits in between, these are for getting the foreground form title, form coordinates etc, i now need the cursor coorindates where ever the mouse cursor is to:

Option Explicit On
Imports System.Text
Imports System.Runtime.InteropServices

[Code]....

When I get try and get the x and y coorindates only the x is appearing i think, this gives me a very long number, the y is set to 0. Not sure if I need to take this x number and split it to get my x and y or whether there is logic error in my code

Get Coordinates On Screen By Holding Down Mouse And Placing It Over Different Parts Of The Screen

Feb 29, 2012

I'm trying to get coordinates on my screen by holding down my mouse and placing it over different parts of the screen. I'm using the mouse_up and down events in a button to kinda simulate the mouse being held down. The problem I'm running into is that anytime I go past the button's bounds, the coordinates I want stop. This is what I have so far:

IDE :: Getting The Screen Coordinates?

Apr 13, 2010

it is designed to be able to interact with foreground windows and display certain bits of information as each foreground window is displayed. The foreground window will most of the time NOT be a windows form so this makes things that bit more trickier for me. The program below doesn't produce any errors but the problem arises when I try and get the X, Y coordinates of the cursor, at the moment when ever the cursor is moved around I get a very long number as the X and nothing returned for my Y. I find I can set the X,Y coordinates to anywhere on the screen, can also get the foreground forms title,it's RECT coordinates but need to get the cursor info correctly.

Option Explicit On
Imports System.Text
Imports System.Runtime.InteropServices

Determine An Image's Screen Coordinates?

May 11, 2012

I have an image resembling a chessboard inside a picturebox displayed on the screen at runtime. I am using Visual Basic in Visual Studio 2008. I need to determine when a user clicks on a particular part of the image. I am able to do this without a problem when debugging on my computer, where I can experiment with trial-and-error clicking to get the screen coordinates of the portion of the image of interest. Everything changes, however, when the program is run on a screen with a different resolution and coordinates.

I can easily get the coordinates for the picturebox that contains the image using PointToScreen. However, there seems to be no such property for the image within the picturebox, which is what I need.

Screen Coordinates Of Webbrowser HtmlElement?

Jul 3, 2009

I am working on a project that involves the editing of html of pages on the fly. I have put a webbrowser on the form, and I am able to retrieve the element under my mouse by using: wBrowser.Document.GetElementFromPoint(e.ClientMousePosition) in the Document.MouseClick event.However, I want the experience to be more intuitive, by placing a semi-transparent blue rectangle over whichever HtmlElement the mouse is currently hovering over. I created a borderless form with 20% opacity for this, which works great, except that I cannot for the life of me figure out how to calculate the screen coordinates of the element under my mouse. Here is what I have so far, but while the size is adjusted correctly, the location of the rectangle is just stuck at (0, 0) relative to my form. Highly annoying:

Screen Coordinates With A Horizontal Scroll Bar?

Jul 13, 2010

Since the map image is bigger than my screen resolution 1280 x 1024, a horizontal scroll bar is shown. I use Location x and y to place icons, but the problem is:placing an icon at location (0, 0) when the horizontal scroll bar is at left-most position is different from when the horizontal scroll bar is at right-most position...If I move scroll bar to x-axis(right) 10 thenplacing an icon at (0, 0), should be (0, 0) but it is placed at (10, 0).n this case, is there any different approach?

Screen Coordinates While Placing Controls Dynamically

Oct 14, 2010

In my vb.net project, i use to add Datagridview dynamically into a tab control. tab pages's autoscroll property is set to true. i calculated the gap between consecutive DGVWs and pass the parameter in the location as like this. [Code]

supposing if i want to 7 DGVWS, say 5 DGVWs are placed finely in expected gap until i do the scrolling the vertical scroll bar. whenever i scroll the bar(vertical) to the downmost end and then again add DGVW into the tab page. unfortunately the 6th DGVW is placed somewhere down and the gap between 5th and 6th dgvw is enormous difference. what i understand is whenever the scroll bar is brought to the bottom most end, the drawing point is taken as the current top view. i don't want like this. Is there any setting needs to be take care.

Office Automation :: Find Excel Cell Screen Coordinates With .net (2008)?

Feb 12, 2010

is there a way of getting the screen coordinates of individual cells on an open Excel sheet, what I want to ultimately do is pass in a cell range say, "A5" into a function and watch the mouse cursor move slowly to that cell. I know this might seem a weird request. I already have a mouse move function but that accepts the x/y coords in pixel terms where excel using .TOP and .LEFT give an entirely different format?

Set Coordinates For Each Beam At Intervals Of 610 Then Write That Coordinates System To A Text Based *.SCR File

Dec 2, 2010

I am trying to build a coordinates system but am having trouble with how to.. What I have sofar is a textbox that allows the user to enter a length. This length is user defined but never smaller then 610 in length since this is the minimum unit size we use to build timber frames. The overall length of a timber frame is infinite (well not really, but it is for what I want) the timber frame has beams every 610mm set apart from each other (this is a legal requirement) so I want my vb.net to set coordinates for each beam at intervals of 610 then write that coordinates system to a text based *.SCR file

Screen Blanks After 1 Min Of Processing (of Excel File) / Refresh Or Freeze Screen To Avoid Blank Screen?

Jun 29, 2011

BTW this issue occurs in any MS office program when the VB.Net (or even VBA) is processing information.Example: In Excel, a worksheet is displayed on the screen. I start either, a VB.Net or VBA procedure and within 30 seconds the Excel worksheet (previously displayed) blanks out. In both VB.Net and VBA,ScreenUpdating = False. My expectation is that the previously displayed screen would stay static as if I left my desk to get a cup of coffee; came back and the same ole Excel worksheet was still there?Of course, setting VBA Screen Updating = False accomplishes two goals: 1) speeds up processing and 2) saves the user from seeing unnecessary "garbage-processing" steps.Why does VBA or VB.Net ScreenUpdating = False not freeze the screen at the time of its invoking?
