i want to make a custom mouse cursor but I found that can be hard so I want to go the next best route. I want to see how you make an image follow the mouse pointer. I assume it would use some kind of image = mousepinter new point (x, y) or somethign like that. Suggestions or samples? In the end i want to take this code snippet and make a duck hunt game and a whack a mole type game
View 10 RepliesI am developing an application with multiple picture boxes, each displaying a line graph. I want to be able to have a label following the mousepointer showing xy coordinates of the point. I also want to allow a user to zoom in on a specific picture box by double clicking on it. The code does what I want as written (changes backcolor so I know double click event fires) except moving the position of the label to follow the mouse pointer.
However if if uncomment the line in the MouseMoved sub:
LB.Location = New Point(e.X, e.Y)
Then the label moves as desired however the double click event no longer fires.
Public Class Form1
Dim PB As New PictureBox, LB As New Label
Private Sub Form1_Load(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles MyBase.Load
Me.Controls.Add(PB)
With PB

View 5 RepliesI have a short little program that has an image follow my mouse cursor. But the problem is that the image keeps drawing itself over and over. I only want 1 image following my mouse.

In a game i am making, as the mouse cursor i have crosshairs (like those in FPS games) and i would like an image box to change images as the mouse moves so that it appears that the character in the picturebox is following the mouse cursor.
i thought i would do something along the lines of first finding out which side of the picture box its on (left or right) then finding out exactly where with some maths equations and then assigning 1 of 60 pictures so that it appears that the picture is rotating.
I've been working on a GUI in WPF which I'm fairly new to, having only used Windows Forms up until now. So far, my GUI is very simple: it contains two rectangles, each of which drops a shadow. The shadow creates an effect of rectangles "floating above the canvas" so to speak.
When one of the rectangles is pressed, the myRectangle.MouseDown event is handled such that the shadow goes away, thus creating an effect of the rectangle being pressed down onto the canvas, like a button.Similarly, when mouse button is released, the myRectangle.MouseDown event is handled such that the shadow reappears and the rectangle "floats" again. This behavior make them resemble buttons. Note, there a reasons I want them to be rectangles and not custom buttons.
[Code]...
If the pointer leaves a rectangle while mouse button is pressed, I'd like shadow to reappear. This is arguable simple, because theoretically in this case, any time myRectangle.MouseLeave is raised, the shadow should come back on, even if it was already there.If the pointer left a rectangle when mouse button was pressed, then came back while before the button was released, I want the shadow to disappear again. This one is what gives me problems. No idea how to do this.

View 9 RepliesI'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.

View 7 RepliesI want to know which mouse pointer is selected anywhere in windows (so also outside my application).
I've looked into Cursor.Current but I can't figure it out. Perhaps someone here can tell me how it's done?
I am attempting to hide the mouse pointer when there has been a few seconds of inactivity and then re-show the pointer again when the user moves the mouse. I have been able to get the mouse pointer to hide and re-show as I require it, however when I execute grid.Children.Clear() and grid.Children.Add() the mouse pointer re-appears (but again hides after a few seconds of inactivity).
My code is as below:
Private Sub Window1_MouseMoved(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As MouseEventArgs) Handles MyBase.MouseMove

View 3 RepliesI have a problem in a vb.net windows application.I have a form with Sizable form border style. but i want to resize it only from TOP & BOTTOM. I have done the code for this.
But when i move the mouse on form's RIGHT & LEFT border, the mouse pointer gets changed to resize mode. When i drag it form size does not change. but when i try to resize it from LEFT whole form moved to LEFT. I do not need it.
I'm trying to move the mouse pointer to a certain position on the screen.I've done the declarations for both the SetCursorPos as well as the mouse_event, however I keep getting a Declaration expected error at this line: SetCursorPos(x,y),Perhaps something is wrong with the project or vb as well, cause I used an other declaration as well and when I wanted to use that I also got a Declaration expected error.[code]....

View 9 RepliesI have a combobox that drops up instead of down. I'm setting the selected item to the one on top of the list. I'd like to move my mouse pointer to point to it, so that the user that wants to click on that item doesn't have to move his mouse. I found how to move the pointer, it is with this command:
Windows.Forms.Cursor.Position = New System.Drawing.Point(x,y)
but I need to know how to get the location of the selected item in the combobox.
I have a program that has two list boxes. I want to have the user right click either listbox and remove an item using the context menu option. I have tried to use GetChildAtPoint (control.mouseposition) but I cannot return a control the mouse is over. I then tried to use the _Click event of the context menu to get the sender, but the sender is the contextmenu control. Here is the code I am using:
Dim ctrl As Control = Me.GetChildAtPoint(Control.MousePosition)
If ctrl Is Nothing Then
Exit Sub

View 1 RepliesI have a main form "Parent" and another "child" form. When I am filling a textbox in the child form the mouse pointer disappears. Then I hit the tab key to jump to a combobox. At this time when I move the mouse, the pointer doesn't come up until I click the mouse button. This is annoying and the user of my program doesn't like it. How can I keep the mouse pointer always on top. NOte: although the main form has the parent property as true, the other child form are not defined as child forms.

In VB.Net with Winforms how do I make an image follow the cursor even when it leaves the form? I want to do this during a drag and drop operation. BCL and/or GDI is better for my usecase than P/Invokes.
If you are familiar with PeaZip, it does something of this sort when dragging a file from it's interface.
