Saving A Forms Position (in Pixels) And Setting An Work Area From It
Dec 4, 2011
I am trying to make a program that allows me to operate a program while I am not around (kind of like a bot) because I need to move alot of things and do the same motion over and over.
So in my program's settings I have made a form that is transparent that I want to set my working area with (i wont be resizing the form, it's size is "975, 575") and save the forms Top, Left, Bottom, Right positions so I can create a macro for my mouse to click.
how to save a forms position on the screen? So I can use it to set a working area?
I just want to save its current location to 4 variables

I have looking for a tutorial or class that demonstrates more than a trivial example of saving a windows position on closing. The ones I have found don't seem to work on all systems because of:
1. Multiple monitors. (and resolution between those monitors)
2. Toolbar size and position (toolbar is only on the primary monitor, well sometimes)
3. Sometimes the programs dont open on the right monitor they were closed on.
Is there an extensive class or tutorial on all the stuff a programmer needs to get right to have a window size and position persisted between executions?

I have been reading up on ways to write pixels, and the ways make sense, but i can't seem to do it, i would like to write just a singl pixel at cartesian coordinate (0,0) Do i need to declare the pixel first and then rite it? Or is there an equivilent function to Pset?Below is the vb6 way of doing it. do i need to declare Pset and then use an instance of Pset to do the same thing in .net?

I want to be able to click and drag the mouse over the picturebox to create a selection area and I want it to snap an image to each place on the picturebox that it can. So if I have it set to snap to 50 pixels, and I select the points (50,50) - (100,100) I should get back 4 points: (50,50), (50,100), (100,50), and (100,100). The thing is though, It can't loop through every single location.

I'm trying to make a -what i thought would be simple app.My intention was to build program that:1) i'd provide a grayscale image2) the program would count the black pixels the grey pixels the more grey pixels etc. (the hue) and the white3) would make the percentage sum of all pixels, that is: 300.000 black pixels (rgb 0 0 0) etc. given that 0 is the black, 100 the white. e.g a simple grayscale image is 55.2 white
This was my way and i don't think that is useful:
First of a button to convert the image to greyscale:
Dim bm as new Bitmap(source.Width,source.Height)
Dim x
Dim y
[CODE]...
Secondly, -and that's the stupid way- i did -or better i wanted to do- this: i put the code to dynamically create labels, each label having the colour of a pixel as background colour and as text the colour converted to rgb
The third step which i intended to do (i couldn't get pas two) was to sum up the labels etc.

I have two forms: Main and Options.Main can be moved around the screen (like a normal window).When the user clicks a button, the Options form opens up and the Main form HIDES.How do I set the Options form to open in the exact place that the Main form was last on the screen (to give it the effect the MAIN form never went into hidding)I was thinking to set Option form's StartPosition to Main's current position, but I don't know the syntax for that or if it's even something you can do.

I'm trying to set hotkeys for all my favorite websites. When one of these hotkeys are pressed, I want it to load the assigned website in internet explorer, but I want internet explorer to load on my SECONDARY monitor. I've already set out the hotkeys to load internet explorer, but it loads on the wrong screen. How to check if an instance of IE is already running. To be a bit more specific: the secondary monitor is set to the LEFT of the primary one. And the resolution is at 1440 x 900. So basically, I want to programmatically set IE's position to (-1440, 0) from within my application itself.

Would someone advise as to why the cursor position code does not work in the downloaded code snippet this code is from the second tutorial located within VB 2010. The debugger moves through the method but the cursor is not affected in any manner i.e does not move to position 10,10 when called to do so.I am using XP windows 2003 as a virtual machine through Macintosh OS X 10.5.8 -maybe this has an effect somehow?

I know this is a VB.Net messageboard, but it can work with in all languages. Is there a quick way to complete a line (sample code):
//Setting variables set 1
a = e;
b = f;
c = g;
d = h;
.....
//Saving changes set 2
e = a;
f = b;
g = c;
h = d;
without having to type everything out...A technique using EXCEL or Notepad....Find and Replace. This would save a lot of time coding and becomes pain in the butt when you working with many variables.

how to stop a ComboBox from displaying blank data?
The query I'm using does not allow nulls but the ComboBox is showing black areas and the user can click in those areas.
The PureComponents ComboBox did not show the blank areas but when I started to use the ComboBox from VS 2008 the blank areas are showing up.
The attachment shows me clicking in a blank area.

I have several forms that have a DataGridView object in them. I recently discovered the AllowUserToOrderColumns attribute. I set it to true and I can reorder the columns at will. The problem is that the order for these columns is lost once the form is closed. Ok, how do you save the order for these columns and then restore them to the form once it has been reopened?

I found a class that saves column order and column width for a list view but i cant get it to work properly.
Public Class cListviewHelper
Private Declare Function ListViewiColumnOrder Lib "user32" Alias "SendMessageA" (ByVal hwnd As Integer, ByVal Msg As Integer, ByVal wParam As Integer, ByRef lParam As Integer) As Integer[code].....
It saves the right number of columns but not in the order they are.It always saves them like this in the registry "0,1,2,3,4,5,6"

I have made a text editing application and, as you might have guessed yourself, I needed to add save features. Well, what I have implemented so far is the ordinary "Save As..." feature which I made by using a common SaveFileDialog. Now it's time for the hard part. I need to add the "Save" function located in many Windows applications (Notepad etc.). This is what I'm working on at this moment but it doesn't seem to work.

Trying to set the viewable area to a smaller screen area and have it cycle through as the person moves using collision detection to move the backgroudn image. Here is the start but its off to a bad start so far.
Public Class Form1
Dim Mapx As Integer = 600
Dim Mapy As Integer = 2000
[code]....
Basically the forum size is set to 600x2000 but the client should only allow you to view 600x600. I want it to add +1 once you "collide with a invisable box I'll add and this will redraw the screen.
