Read/capture The Name Of A Control The Mouse Is Hovering Over On Any Window?
Apr 30, 2010
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..

How do i get the name of a control (in this case a button) the mouse is hovering over? i have a toolstrip, and the buttons are created dynamically. when i hover the mouse over the button, i want the name of that button to appear in a text box.
maybe something like this...
Code:
Private Sub ToolStrip1_MouseHover(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles ToolStrip1.MouseHover

I currently have a picture box and it has a MouseHover event. When the picture box is hovered the picture will change images. But when it is not being hovered upon I need the picture to switch back to the original image. Is there anyway to do this.

I have been tasked with showing a tooltip when I hover over certain TabPages within a tab control, I have tried everything I can think of to resolve this little task, but still I am left with no clear answer.
the events that I would normally use, seem only to fire if the mouse is over the actually tabpage, I am more interested in the tabpage under the mouse in the tabcontrol.

I am using an embedded webbrowser control to access a third-party website, populate the username and password boxes on their front page, and login. The problem I have is that the resulting window that the site returns to me is in the form of a new window. What I want to do is capture this window and all it's session/cookie data in to the original webbrowser control, as even if I direct the original window to the same resulting url, some kind of authentication data is missing and the site tells me I have logged out, even though the popup window works fine. I need that page in the original control so that I can continue to access it programmatically, and I don't really want to get in to the complication of accessing the new window, as I expect I'll have to delve in to the api or something.

I'm using VS 2008 under Windows 7. When I hover the mouse over a variable in debug mode, the value will fade in slowly. Sometimes it is annoyingly slow, I just want the value to show up, no animation or fading. Or is this fading feature a Windows thing and not a VS thing?

how to raise the mouse leave and mouse hover events for VB when i place my mouse cursor over the button.
When my mouse cursor is over the buttons, it will raise the mouse hover event and open the form, then when the mouse leaves the button, it will close the form upon raising the mouse leave event.
but currently, When i excute this two events, the for will open and close very,very fast. so fast that it is like spamming the VB.
So i am wondering how to change the code that i have to excecute the event one time every time the mouse is over the button which is created at run time.
the codes to execute these two events are:
Private Sub Button_MouseLeave(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs)
For Each ctl As Control In PictureBox1.Controls
[Code].....

[URL] I have tried heslacher's method which is Hi clzanas, you problems had been the result of calling a for each loop inside the events. If you only want for the button you hoover / leave to call the ShowDetails.Open/close, then you can take the code below:
Private Sub Button_MouseLeave(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs)
If TypeOf sender Is Button Then
ShowDetails.Close()
[code]....
But i got the same results as my previous code, resulting in the form opening and closing so fast that it is like spamming the window.

border of that said window so the only place the mouse can't click the titlebar and the minimize,restore, and maximize button. The height of the titlebar depends on what OS the user is using so I'm having trouble because I can't give a definite value for this. How do I detect the height. and also for border i'm not sure if the borders have different widths with different operating systems. I'm using windows XP on classic mode, when I change to the themed mode, the height of the title bar changes so it won't work.

I am a newbie to this forum. I searched across a lot to find a way in VB.net how to capture the keyboard and mouse events scoping to the whole computer. Basically what I want to do is make a keyboard and mouse macro recorder application, so that the regular job of starting the same programs again and again everyday might be automated.

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 have a command line app that periodically crashes. When it crashes it does so displaying only 'hit any key to continue' in a command window. My goal if I see that the command window shows 'hit any key to continue', I then restart an associated service and life is good. So I put my google hat on and reveal that I can capture whats going on in a command window. I come up with the following code
Public Function GetAppResults() As String
Dim PSI As New ProcessStartInfo()
Dim P As Process
[code]....
The code works as it should but my application never exits, this apps need to continuously run - so I never can capture whats going on in the command window. Its almost like I need to do a realtime capture of whats going on in that command window. I was thinking that I may want to switch approaches and capture whats going on in the command prompt periodically but that sounds messier and I'm not sure if its possible.

I found that code somewhere and I find it quite useful but I would like to find a way to make it work so it capture only the given window target. Maybe with a processID or Window Name. Even if that window is not active. I do not want to make that window active but want to get a screen capture like if I was doing Alt+PrintScreen on it.

This does work, if just, let's say have forms open, but it doesn't when I minimize everything & get to the desktop (with that taskbar button). It also returns 1400 error a lot, even with running as administrator.

Apologies as this has probably been answered a million different times a million different ways already. I'm trying to control the mouse. I wish to move the mouse to a given pixel position (x, y) and cause a click. I don't want this to be limited within a form, as I want to control another application. I'm using VB 2005.
