View 5 RepliesI have a program that reads pixel colors in other applications, I've got the program working correctly but trying to hovor your mouse over a single pixel on the screen using the standard mouse "Arrow" pointer is a little difficult. I've created a custom cursor that is a cross hair of sorts that makes it easier to target specific pixels, is there a way to change the mouse curse to a specified cursor when the mouse is NOT over the controlling form?

I try to detect when the mouse is over a curve in zedgraph, I am capable of doing it if the mouse is over a point of the curve, but the problem is when the curve has no points in that region,let me show you an example:
Curve is defined by 2 points: [X=0;Y=10] -- [X=1000;Y=10]
If mouse is at point [X=500;Y=10] it is over the curve, but not over any point so i cannot detect it.Is there any event which gets fired when mouse is over line but not necessarily over a point?

View 5 RepliesI am creating an application that creates scripts to move a mouse and to click where a user wishes to via pre-programmed code and to also press keys where required. I have the code to move a mouse and to manually click anywhere. What I am after is to detect when a mouse button is pressed and dragged and when keys are pressed.
I see that there is the following
MouseButtons.ToString
To detect when a mouse button is pressed, and have it looping in a timer. Is there a better way to do this? I would rather not use a timer. And is there a similar routine to detect which keys are pressed?
Is there any way of detecting the position where the Mouse Button is released during a Drag & Drop operation. I need to know whether the intended Drop position was not reached when the mouse button is released.
View 8 RepliesI need to create a program that can run code each time the user clicks, I can't use windows forums since its on another program. If the code can detect global mouse clicks(system wide) or only on one program it's fine.
I've done some digging and it looks like windows API can solve my problem but i really suck at using windows API and it looks like SetWindowsHookEx() can solve my problem but i don't know how to use it correctly. This is the code from Pinvoke that I modified to hopefully work for a mouse click. i'm having trouble getting this to work.
Imports System.Runtime.InteropServices
Imports System.Windows.Forms
Module Module1

I'm putting the finishing touches to a fullscreen Winforms Application in VB (.net 3.5, VS2008). I need to hide the mouse cursor, so I've used:
Me.Cursor.hide()
this works exactly as you'd expect, until a timer triggered event runs (and no, the timer doesn't call Cursor.Show(),ANY event running seems to trigger this, and I have a lot of timers triggering events to control various aspects of my application).What I really want to accomplish is to have my application work like in Media Player, where the mouse cursor is hidden until I move the mouse or cancel fullscreen.Is there any way to hide the cursor until I move the mouse, close my form or exit fullscreen? I've tried lots of things, but can't find anything that actually works correctly (all due to triggered events running).
