I have a picturebox (X=1200,Y=800) and there is an area in the picturebox starting at (X=32,Y=32 and is 256x256 in size). I want to keep the mouse pointer in that area for awhile.
Is there a command in vb that lets you do this? If not, can you restrict the mouse to one control?
I had a post about how to disable monitors, but someone suggested just making it not possible to leave the primary screen. This was obviously a good suggestion, but im not sure how i would accomplish this.
I need to prevent the user from entering the ctrl, alt, delete, escape, and windows key. I also need to prevent the mouse from leaving the primary screen.
My program is a security login system. It requires a username and password to close, and i want to make sure that it cannot close unless the user supplies the correct username and password.

View 1 Repliesif its possible to have mouse events like mouse movements, mouse clicks and so on in a specific window only. I'm not sure if you understand this so ill give you an example.
Okay lets say i want this program to only click within a window like Firefox or windows media player only. So that means if i minimize the window it will still click inside that window while its minimized, and i could continue doing other things while its clicking inside that window.
The code I have is meant to be used during possible rapid mouse movement by the user. It is supposed to get the current location (works), move to specified location (works), mouse down(works), mouse up (works), then return the mouse to the old position. I added the delay because it seemed that it was having trouble registering the click if done too quickly. The problem I am having is that if the user is moving their mouse during the time the code is activated, their movement can throw the location of the mouse down or mouse up events off even with the added check routine I added.
'Get current mouse position
Dim MousePosX As Integer = Windows.Forms.Cursor.Position.X
Dim MousePosY As Integer = Windows.Forms.Cursor.Position.Y
Q = True
'Move mouse to Q Location and click

how to create a Auto repeated Mouse movement.I wanna create a Form, with a button "start 01" and "start 02",so if I click on "start 01" button, and i open my other applications, and once I hit the F1 button (on my keyboard) the mouse will auto move from point A to B, and it will keep on repeat until I hit the F12 button, then it will stop auto moving.and if I click on the "start 02" button, and II open my other applications, and once I hit F1 button (on my keyboard) the mouse will now move from D to E, and it will keep on repeating it until I hit the F12 button, then it will stop auto moving.

So I have been working on some code that is a supplement to a video game that I play (doesn't really give me an advantage, I'm against cheating) as recreational programming to get me to learn more things which apparently is working immensely.The video game is called DoTA which is a custom map in Warcraft 3.
What I am trying to do is to make a program that can manually click the skills when the user presses the key they bound to that skill. This allows for more precise skill usage as keybindings in the game change randomly which causes chaos.
I first tried using mouse_event to move, click down, click up, return back to original location. This worked, but I ran into a problem that occurred if mouse movement by the user was happening while the code was being ran. The problem mainly would cause the mouse to move off the skill before clicking or even after the mouse down event.
So then I looked into SendMessage and PostMessage but it took a while before I could fully grasp everything about the functions mostly due to many examples posted online being different from one another as far as the declarations.
I now have matched the output that happens according to Spy++ when I actually click the mouse myself with various PostMessage and SendMessages, but am still having an odd problem:
I provide the coordinates to click on say Button 1. Spy++ tells me it is clicking it properly, but I do not actually get a click. However, if I manually move my mouse over that button, even on the very corners of it, and then press the key, it clicks it (although it also seems to work on one other button in the game.) Other than that, it will not click any other button besides the one that the coordinates are over.The game does not have any child windows so it doesn't seem like I can get the handle of the actual buttons themselves.Here is what I have as test coding to figure this all out (the sleep time in between mdown and mup is because the game doesn't register if clicked too fast):
Option Explicit On
Imports System.Runtime.InteropServices 'MarshalAs, Marshal
'Imports System.Reflection 'assembly
[code]....
I was thinking that if there was a way to maybe pause control from being able to move the mouse that I could just revert back to the original mouse_event code as well, but I haven't found anything that can take away control like that (actually, I wouldn't even want that posted TBH as it could be used for malicious stuff).
EDIT:The code at the bottom is just stuff I was using to match what happens when I actually click according to Spy++.
I have two custom action listers. One that handles Mouse.Click and one that handles Mouse.MouseDown. My question to you is, can I delay the mouse down event so that it does not intefere with the code of the Mouse.Click event? I have tried adding a timer and waiting x amount then setting a bool value to true, but the code executes to fast and it skips the other code.

View 2 RepliesWhen I plug in the USB joystick, I'll have to go to the control panel and select game controllers. I click on the properties and a pop-up is displayed. On the top left hand corner of it, there's this small square 'picture' with a plus sign at the middle indicating the joysticks' movement. As I moved up, the sign moves up as well and as I move down it does too. It depicts the movements of the joystick in use.
I was wondering how to code the exact same thing as I'm planning to place the square thingy in a 'question' image which will change after every submitted answer of the image using the joystick.

View 6 RepliesI've made a program where a picture of a bee buzzes around the form in random movements (using random number generator code) and have put it in a while loop so that whilst the bee is visible on the form (hasn't flown off the sides) it moves randomly:
While (picBee.Top > 0 And picBee.Top < 725) And (picBee.Left > 0 And Timer1.Enabled = True)
Application.DoEvents()
For i = 1 To 3000000
Next
picBee.Top = picBee.Top - 2 + 4 * Rnd()
picBee.Left = picBee.Left - 2 + 4 * Rnd()
End While
So far the bee does stop moving when it meets one of the four edges of the form but I need to code it so when the be reaches the edges and stops a message box appears declaring the game over.
I have a StatusStrip at the bottom of the Form. When i run the form I am able to drag it and move it towards the top. So the StatusStrip just disappears. I dont want the user to be able to MOVE the strip. How do I do that ??
View 3 RepliesOk, so I'm making a simple breakout game, using picture boxes as I didn't want to bother installing picture boxes.Every movement works perfectly fine; the pad moves correctly, the ball bounces right. Except when I move the pad while the ball is moving.If I move the pad while the ball is moving, the ball moves at the same speed as the pad, which is 10 times the speed of the ball.Well here's the movement code.
Code:
Public Sub Movement(ByVal Movement As String) ' Handles movement
If Not IsPlaying Then Exit Sub

View 1 RepliesIn an attempt to try and make a chess AI I started working on a chess project. The AI will basically be in a class that implements my AI interface. To provide flexibility this can be used for a human player or a computer AI. In any case the problem I'm having is calculating the valid moves that a single piece can have.I calculate on what blocks the piece would be able to move if the board was totally empty. (this is represented by a array of point)Then I get a list of piece locations of the same team and Except that from said list.(since pieces can move through other pieces of its team)Now here is the tricky bit obviously taking an enemy piece is a legal move I can't just subtract enemy piece positions. Lets say there are 2 black pawns and a white rook in the same column. The rook would be able to take the first black pawn but not the second one because the first pawn is in it's way. In reality there would never be such an easy example so I need a way to only include the enemy positions "In the line of sight" of the piece's moves i'm calculating.
View 11 Repliesi'm working on something like a slot machine reel spinning with images on it.I've constructed a long image, dynamically, and have that image now stored in memory.I'm able to simulate that image "spinning" nicely by moving it vertically within a panel, and having it repeat. This is taking place in a separate "timer" function.
This seems to move quite smoothly until (on some machines) I output a bit of audio. I'm using the format:
My.Computer.Audio.Play(SoundFile3, AudioPlayMode.Background)
The SoundFile3 is simply a physical path to an audio file.When I call this function for the audio, and when it's not a powerhorse pc, it disrupts the spinning, and the spinning acts a little crazy/random.
Is there a more efficient approach for audio, like storing it in memory ahead of time?I'm tempted to go the multi-thrad approach to try to get the option of multiple sounds at the same time, but I don't know ifthat will help or hurt the situation. And I don't know how that's done.
is there any buffers i can use to make my animations look smoother rather than the quality of the pictures?
