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

View 5 RepliesI have a custom cursor that I have as a ico file as cur files are only mono coloured and 32x32.
The only problem in using a ico file is that I can't set where the hot spot is and at the moment it is set in the middle of the icon which is no help
I was looking on the msdn website and it said to set the hotspot like this
Dim instance As Cursor
Dim value As Point
value = instance.HotSpot But I don't know how to set the point value to (0,54) which is where I want the hotspot to be located.
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

View 8 RepliesI am making a program in Visual Basic 2010 Express, and i was wondering if there was a way if the form (form1/me) can be maximized by dragging form1 to the top of the screen. So far I have this code:

Me.WindowState = FormWindowState.Maximized
End If
i'd like to know the current cursor but out of a form, in all windows.i've done a litle app with a text box and a checkbox. when i click to the check box, the current cursor is displayed in the textbox1.[code]the current cursor writen in the textbox1 is correct when the cursor is in the form, but when the cursor go out of the form, in a other windows application, the textbox1 didn't write the current cursor.
View 3 RepliesWhen I click on my hard-coded richtextbox, I need my cursor to be like a square so that it replaces the text with the user defined text. How would I go about doing this? Here's the dode:
<
Dim strTab
As
String = _[code]....
\
Now when a user selects a "-" I need the cursor to be a square so it can replace the "-" with the user input...lets say a "5".
Basically, there's a Rich Text Box here, and it's read-only. The user can tab inside it, and move the arrow keys up and down it. If I can get my code to work (read the line where the cursor is). I am using the following code:
Code:
Dim RTBLine As Integer = Me.RichTextBox1.GetLineFromCharIndex(Me.RichTextBox1.SelectionStart)
If RTBLine < 2 Then RTBLine = 1 'used to prevent errors

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.
Is it possible to get the size of the cursor through code? Note that I don't want the position, but the size of the actual cursor. The reason being so that I can make tooltips appear at the bottom right of it. AFAIK, cursor size isn't universal, but in order to get a tooltip to the bottom right of a cursor, you need this math.
Me.Left - MousePosition.X + cursor_size_x
Me.Top - MousePosition.Y + cursor_size_y
Right now I use 12x12 since I remember that being a relatively normal size, but I know it could be bigger too.
I got an issue again, Im using a program which automatically does the work I normally have to do, but it uses my mouse to click on a java application. Normally I would have to do it myself but now the program does it. I was wondering wether there was a way to create a second mouse cursor, to not interrupt the main mouse cursor, so I could do other work while my program is still doing its work. Like 2 mouses, 1 is the main cursor, the other one is programmed to do its work even if the form is not focused.

Or if this wouldnt be possible, is there a way to let my form click on certain places on itself without it being focused. E.g. my form is not focused but the process still goes on, there is still being clicked on it.

View 3 RepliesI have a string that will be of varying lengths. I want to display this string in a textbox so scroll bars will appear if the string is larger than the size of the text box. This info is read only - I don't want to give the user any input with it.I still see a cursor and my string highlighted even with the ReadOnly set to true.Is there any way to disable the cursor altogether in a textbox so nothing is highlighted?Maybe I'm not using the best control for this, but I don't want to use a label.I generate this textbox at run time, if that matters at all.
View 4 RepliesI have a form which uses many TextBox's. TextBox1 through TextBox3 are already working the way I need them to. The other 123 I am having a small issue with. Basically, I need to detect which TextBox (4-85) the cursor is in, since a change in that box will modify some or many of the other boxes.
If I use something like TextBox4.Text.Changed, I will get caught in a massive loop, since a change in TextBox4 will alter the contents of TextBox36 and TextBox44. A Change in TextBox36 will alter TextBox4,5,6,7 and 44, and a change in TextBox44 will alter TextBox4-43.
The second set of TextBox's (45-85) act the same way. The last group of TextBoxes (86-126) are calculations based on the other 2 sets and are not user adjustable.
