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.
View 3 RepliesI 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 created a user control tha inherits from the NumericUpDown Control.Is it possible to set the cursor position within the control?I am validating the text OnKeyUp, and formatting it when it meets certain criteria.To do this i have to do me.text = Fomatted(Me.Text), which sets the cursor back to the position 0, i want to set it to the end of the text area.
View 1 RepliesI'm trying to create a hook to monitor the current position of the mouse cursor. Nothing important, I just need to count some pixels during interface design and wanted to learn how to create a hook, so I decided to go for a hard way instead of a sane way.
I've found example code which declares the following function:
<DllImport("User32.dll", CharSet:=CharSet.Auto, _
CallingConvention:=CallingConvention.StdCall)> _
Public Overloads Shared Function SetWindowsHookEx _
[Code].....
But Appdomain.GetCurrentThreadID generates the warning: "'Public Shared Function GetCurrentThreadId() As Integer' is obsolete: 'AppDomain.GetCurrentThreadId has been deprecated because it does not provide a stable Id when managed threads are running on fibers (aka lightweight threads). To get a stable identifier for a managed thread, use the ManagedThreadId property on Thread."
I've tried using ManagedThreadID, but that doesn't work. The thread ID returned seems to be the logical thread ID of the thread, as it runs in the .net runtime, rather than the Win32 thread identifier.
Calling the function ith AppDomain.GetCurrentThreadID works, but I really would like to have a "stable identifier" for my thread.
Can someone explain to me whether it is possible to use ManagedThreadID in this context (I assume not) and, if not, the things I need to avoid in order to stop the AppDomain.CurrentThreadID from becoming "unstable"?
I have a hobby of making webbrowsers. I'm writing a new one, but it has an old webbrowser control in it (CEXWB). This means that I am using IHTMLDocument(s) rather than normal HTMLDocuments. I'm in the process of implementing a ContextMenu, but I need to get the position of the mouse relative to the browser control, so using something like Cursor.Position won't work. The Webbrowser_MouseMove event also won't work. I'm not sure why. I also can't use WithEvents with a HtmlDocument (like in my webbrowser ContextMenu tutorial) as I cannot Convert A System.Windows.Forms.HtmlElement into an mshtml.IHTMLDocument2.
So far, I have this code:
'The event which fires when the ContextMenu for the browser Opens
Private Sub cmenuWB_PopupOpen(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As DevComponents.DotNetBar.PopupOpenEventArgs) Handles cmenuWB.PopupOpen
[CODE]...
How I could implement this?

I Would like to position the cursor in a text box using X,Y coordinates with X being the line number and Y being the column number. Is there any way to determine the line and column numbers of a textbox that is full of text. Using the .selectionstart paramenter only lets you position the cursor a certain distance from the beginning of text but there is no line information that I know of. By the way, I not an expert at VB so bear with me if these questions seem kind of basic.

View 19 RepliesI have created a maskedtextbox to do a simmple validation >L99999. My problem is when the user clicks on the empty box the cursor stays where they clicked it, not at the beginning of the box as it would with a normal textbox. I have found some suggestions but these all seem to affect the way the cursor moves within the box rather than just changing the start position. As far as the end user is concerned the box should behave just as any other textbox but with validation.

Here is what I am trying to do: I've added a .SelectAll() method in the MouseDown event of a textbox and it works well.
Now when the user double clicks, I'd like to unselect the text and set the position where the cursor is.
I don't know if I'am making myself clear here so here is an example:
Let's say this is the following text in the textbox: "this is just a test, please do not panic."
User clicks in the textbox, all the text becomes selected.
Let's assume the position of the curosr is just before the "j"
The user double click so the text becomes unselected and the cursor position automatically changes to the j.
I know I have to use the .Select(start, length) method with 0 as length value, but how do I find the start value depending of the mouse position ?

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.

The only problem in using a ico file is that I can't set where the hot spot is and at the moment it is set in the middle of the icon which is no help
I was looking on the msdn website and it said to set the hotspot like this
Dim instance As Cursor
Dim value As Point
value = instance.HotSpot But I don't know how to set the point value to (0,54) which is where I want the hotspot to be located.

I am working on a graphics application. If there were, for example, 3 rectangles in the picturebox. If you were to right click one of them a contextmenu would pop up. In the context menu you are able to click a button called Fill. When you click fill the selected rectangle gets filled in with the colour white. The rectangles are drawn by the user.

I wish to move the mouse to a given pixel position (x, y) and cause a click. I don't want this to be limited within a form, as I want to control another application. I'm using VB 2005.
View 4 RepliesBasically I want to move my mouse to the coords that is received based on the location of a certain coloured pixel. I can get the coords of the pixel but when using them on mouse position, the mouse position is based on the entire screen rather than the form. How could I change the position coords based on the form rather than the entire screen. E.G. If a certain coloured pixel is 2,2 in a form and I put that as the mouse position, it would go outside the form but I dont want that. I want it to hover of the pixel coords
