VS 2008 Form Size Does Not Match With The Cursor Position?
Aug 1, 2011
I set the form's size with Me.Size = New System.Drawing.Size(500, 500). I display the mouse cursor's position when the event Form1_MouseMove fires. At the bottom right corner of the form, I read the coordinates 483,460 (instead of 500,500) I precise that the upper left corner has the coordinates 0,0.I also notice that the size of a control differs from the form's size. for example if Picbox1.height = Form1.height, then the Picbox will be bigger than the displayed Form1.
I am trying to use a windows form as a custom contextmenu which is fine as I have done a form with translucent background colour. However the problem is that I am having problems displaying the form at my cursor position. I have a mdi chaild form in my app and when I right click I want to display my custom contextmenu form at the point where I right click in the mdichild form. The only other thing is that I want the middle of the form to be displayed at the cursor point.

I am working on a screen cropping program. The program works by expanding the current for to maximum and the opacity level set to 35% so the screencan be seen from behind. The cropping code is below:
Private Sub disect_mouseDown(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.Windows.Forms.MouseEventArgs) Handles Me.MouseDown Me.Opacity = 0
I want to find the cursor position when the cursor is over a WebBrowser. The WebBrowser does not contain mousemove command - 'panel' does.I thought I could put the WebBrowser on top of the Panel - but it doesn't work. how I can get the mouse location when it is over a WebBrowser?
I need to draw several line-graphics on a form, then select and drag individual graphics to new locations. Is it possible for example to give each graphic path an identity when drawn, then select any one (via mousedown, whatever) and link it to the dragged mouse co-ordinates until released? MS Visio has exactly this ability - can it be done in .NET?
I have made a code where when the timer starts the botton appears randomly and my mouse position is placed on the button automatically if the progress bar has started... Here is my
I need to be able to take some co-ordinates from textbox and set them to the mouses position. I have tried a few things such as trying the 'new POINT' but i get the following error RDU.Form1.POINT has no constructors'What i am doing is sending the co-ordinates to a listener which then goes into a textbox and i want mouse to go to them co-ordintes.
after i run the program, the form pop up showing no problem.however, when i click on the maximize button on the top right of the form, the form enlarge and fill the screen. but the components will not move accordingly.
I am working in VB 2008 and I have a textbox on a form that is used to enter a parcel number. I can enter the number in a 15 character string such as 12345678...... and it works just fine. The parcel number in real life contains dashes to make it easier to read, decipher, etc. so it looks like 12-3-45-67....... Under the textchanged subroutine for the textbox I have a case statement set up that checks the length of the parcel number as it is entered and inserts the dash accordingly.
I have a DataGridView in one of my form which at a certain point I resize an change it's position. I would like to be able to restore it to the designer's default position at runtime. I know I could save it before changing and then restoring it later, but I feel like there surely is a way in .NET to just restore a control position to it's default.
I added an ICON (called pencil) file in my resources in vb.net, I tried several codes to change the cursor... like this
Public Class Form1 Dim ms As New System.IO.MemoryStream(My.Resources.pencil) Private Sub Form1_Load(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles MyBase.Load
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 developed a form application on my computer, but when it was used in another computer with different screen size, i was told the form didn't fit. Do I have to adjust the form size or any other ways to let the form compatible on different screen size? (could be different screen size or wide screen)
I'm trying to get the cursor position within a webbrowser control, and then create a text range starting from the cursor to a specified word or character.I have some code but instead of selecting the specified range it selects the whole html block.
Private Sub pSalar_MouseDown(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As MouseEventArgs) Handles pSalar.MouseDown My problem is that this panel is the parent of labels, and when I click somewhere on the panel, I can't get it to trigger the event. If I remove the line below, it works ok (but then obviously it's not holding any children labels anymore)[code]....
In my application which is written on vb.net,i search for a word by typing the same in textbox here i have doubt to focus the cursor in the text box.. if i press first letter, say 'a', in textbox that will automatically search what are the words start with 'a'but after searching, cursor is not focussed in the textbox and to type another letter, say 'b', i need to bring my mouse pointer over the textbox and click so that i can type another letter.how can i keep my cursor focussed in the textbox unless i click somewhere else.
I My Problems is when i don't put number and the textbox is empty TextBox string value but the cursor is integer i tryed whith if not string.isnullorempty but have an invalidcastexception in SetCursorPos(MousePositionX, MousePositionY) and if i put all as string happens the same whit the infinite value (empty textbox)
Public Class Form1 Private Declare Sub SetCursorPos Lib "User32" (ByVal X As Integer, ByVal Y As Integer) Private Const MOUSEEVENTF_LEFTDOWN = &H2
Trying to set the cursor position in a RichTextBox. The contents of a document are opened into the RichTextBox and I would like the cursor to move to the very start of the text.
I'm making some snippets and I want to position the cursor. I've come acros "$end$" but all examples I see are in c#. Since recently I've started programming in vb.net again and it seems $end$ isn't recognized or doesn't work here. Is there another keyword in vb to do the same?
the program is that user add numbers in textbox through number buttons (its a calculatornow i have to add 2 more buttons. one <- and other -> and when press one of them the cursor moves in the text box left and right.i tried few things but none works. i have tired to insert "|" first and then try to move it but it either keep on adding or deleting the text.here is what i have tried so far . its not the whole code as i keep on adding and removing.
Dim str As String Dim loc As Integer If txtInput.Text.Length > 0 Then
I'm trying to set a new cursor position but I get this error: A call to PInvoke function 'mon! WindowsApplication1.Form1::SetCursorPos' has unbalanced the stack. This is likely because the managed PInvoke signature does not match the unmanaged target signature. Check that the calling convention and parameters of the PInvoke signature match the target unmanaged signature.
Here is the code: Declare Function SetCursorPos Lib "user32" _ (ByVal x As Long, ByVal y As Long) As Long SetCursorPos(457, 603) It used to work when I used VS 08 but now I use VS 10 and this problem has started to appear.
This is maybe an weird question because I don't know if its possible so prepare .I am working on a project its a kinda autoclicker.It moves the cursor to positions and perform mouseclicks it all works perfectly.So when it runs you can't do something else on the pc because the cursor gets moved every 1-5 seconds.So I wanna now if its possible to kinda attach it to the program I am making it for so it moves the cursor and do clicks within the form of the program.
How do I get the name of the (topmost?) control at the cursor position? The background: I implemented drag'n'drop from a dgv to a label and need to identify the control where the mouse button is released. I have enabled dropping on the label where the drop is going to take place. However, this label is the parent of say a hundred labels that are created dynamically in codebehind (I use this way to create a "dataview"). Therefore, I need to know which of these "child" labels the user drops the data onto.
I can get the mouseposition without problems (Me.PointToClient(Cursor.Position).ToString), but as I said, I can't get the name/text/ID of the control the user dropped the data on. Also, I ned to get the child control's name/ID/Text, not the parent label of course.In addition, it seems as if I can't select the row I click on in the dgv anymore, after I implemented the DoDragDrop on the CellMouseDown event. Any ideas? Should I use another event?
I'm having a difficult time getting cursor's position within the window I tried using : Cursor.Position.X and Cursor.Position.Y but it returns the position of the cursor on the screen and not in the window...
What would be the proper way to get the cursor position while the mousebutton is held down? I've tried using a do while loop with a background worker, but it freezes up the application.
