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?
as title says.... ive been searching it for a long time and i couldnt find it

like when i close a program, i want it to save its location (i guess to the registry, idk) and then when it loads, i want it to load back where it was.this is what i have so far. it saves to the registry ok, but it doesnt load where it should. also, my button1 click is what saves the location for now, but this code is just a test app for this.
Code:

My OCR program uses coordinates to capture text from other program. It works great when program that it takes image from is positioned at coordinates (0, 0). Is here way to find window coordinates, so it can work no matter where program window is positioned?

I have a VB.NET MDI WinForms app. My users have been complaining about form creep (as they call it), this is where each time you open a specific form within the main MDI window it opens slightly below and to the right of the location it loaded previously - i.e. it starts in the top left of the window and works its way down to the bottom right.I have to agree with them that this is extremely irritating, is there any way to prevent this?
The code to load the forms is:
frmPurchaseInvoiceSelect.Show()
frmPurchaseInvoiceSelect.MdiParent = Me
I can address this somewhat by setting the forms start-up positions to 'Manual' but then they just open directly on top of each other in the top left of the screen.
I have two forms that are called by the main form. One is named frmEdit, and is invoked by the ShowDialog (modal) method. The other is named frmSearch and is invoked by the Show (non modal) method. In both cases I want to preserve the last window position so each form (class) begins with Public Class frmEdit (or frmSearch):
Dim lastx as Integer = -1
Dim lasty as Integer = -1
in the Shown event handler for each form I have the code
If lastx >= 0 Then
Me.Left = lastx
Me.Top = lasty
End If
and in the FormClosing handler I do
lastx = Me.Left
lasty = Me.Top
What I don't understand is why the frmEdit (modal) form remembers its previous position but the frmSearch (non-modal) does not. frmSearch always invokes with lastx and lasty equal to -1.

I have a small application that displays a listbox under the cursor position when the user uses a shortcut key.
When the user double clicks a selection from the listbox I want to insert that selected text at the curser position of that opened window.
Example: user has microsoft word open. He/she uses a shortcut key that displays a listbox just under the cursor position. The listbox has a collection of text. When the user double clicks a selection that selected text is inserted at the cursor position.
I tried the following:
Private Sub ListBox1_DoubleClick(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles ListBox1.DoubleClick
Text.Insert(Cursor.Position, ListBox1.SelectedItem)
End Sub
What i need to do is, I need to send the value of "e.enrollNo " to any active windows cursor point(to the Insertion Pointer).
