View 2 RepliesI have created a User Control and would like to be able to detect when the user clicks on the Form.I have seen this question which is related but the suggestion to use the the Leave event doesn't always do what I want because the focus doesn't necessarily change when the user clicks the Form (my control could be the only control on the Form in which case focus stays with my control).I want to be able to do something like this from within the User Control:[code]
View 2 RepliesI have a form, and the background color of the form is set to the transparency key, making the background of the form transparent. The problem I'm having, is that the form cannot recognize the MouseClick event (when I click on the transparent background of the form). I figured out that the transparent background is triggering this problem. When I shut off the transparency, everything works fine.My question is.. Is there any work around? I still need to use the form to be able to access certain objects that are rendering there, so I don't think I could use something like a "Panel" for example, because the objects will render underneath and possibly make them inaccessible.
View 5 RepliesWhat I want to achieve is, getting the current position of the mouse when it's clicked on the form (so also on any object on the form)I can get the position with (this code runs in Timer1)
Dim MousePosition As Point
MousePosition = Cursor.Position
Button4.Text = MousePosition.X & " " & MousePosition.Y
But how do I capture an an overall Click event, so when the mosue is clicked the timer stops?
I've noticed that in VS2008 the Mouse_Click() event is not firing for the right mouse button.I create a standard WinForms button called "btnMouseEvents". Wire up the MouseClick event. The event fires for the left button but not the right.
Private Sub btnMouseEvents_MouseClick(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.Windows.Forms.MouseEventArgs) Handles btnMouseEvents.MouseClick
MsgBox("Mouse click. Button = " & e.Button.ToString())

I am trying to send a mouseclick via the code below and it works fine. But I was wondering how would I send a "virtual" mouseclick(It emulates a mouseclick at specified point but does not move the cursor)
Public Class Form1
Public Declare Auto Function SetCursorPos Lib "User32.dll" (ByVal X As Integer, ByVal Y As Integer) As Integer
Public Declare Auto Function GetCursorPos Lib "User32.dll" (ByRef lpPoint As Point) As Integer

View 1 RepliesIn a project I'm working on, I have 3 separate mazes, a Splash Screen, and a Module for my global variable(gWin, to detect wins on the mazes). When you finish a maze, I'd like to get it so that it does not allow you to go back and redo a maze, to prevent cheating as I want a final screen to appear when they complete all 3 of the mazes. Is there a way that I can make a variable or something to be able to check if a maze was already completed then cause that maze to have it's .Enabled property set to false?

Is there any way to detect the area under a form window. e.g I want to create a grid and use what's in that grid to match patterns.orIs there any way to take a screenshot of the area under a form?
I have been searching all over for something that will do this and the only thing I managed to find was [URL]..I do not however want it for this application (If I really wanted to cheat at a game I would buy the software). But this is a perfect example of the pattern matching I wish to achieve.Edit: OK scratch that... I have managed to take a csreenshot of the region under a form, now has anyone any experience in pattern matching images?
I am creating a user control where when a user clicks a button a popup window will show up with information. The popup window is driven by a toolStripDropDown so when it shows up it does 2 things
Does not move the other controls on the form around but displays over them That it can show the details outside the bounds of the user control itself without having to reserve the space ahead of time
Here is some code
Public Class Popup
Private treeViewHost As ToolStripControlHost
Private Shadows dropDown As ToolStripDropDown
[Code].....
Now my issue is as the form moves or resizes the Tooldropdown does not move relative. I understand that. When I try to capture the move event of the user control that event does not fire when the entire form moves. There has to be something I can capture because the controls in the container of the form move relative, what drives that? I tried wndproc but nothing fires during form move unless the form is repainted.
I have two issues. The first is that I want to make a textbox scrolling similar to how credits scroll. I don't want it to move on the form, just to scrolling the text down a line/pixel. I thought I could do it with the "Lines" element, but I'm not exactly sure how to execute it.
The other problem is with my flash screen. Right now I have it set so when a button is click, it goes onto the main form. I don't want to use the button but rather have it so if Enter is pressed at any time, it'll go to the main form. All the solutions I've tried to use involve the "e.Keycode" code, but for some reason its unavailable.
I want to make an auto log off feature, I want to detect if there is any user input, and if there isn't the user will be automatically logged off. So I want to know how to detect mouse wheel events when the form doesn't have focus.
View 1 RepliesI need to detect if any version of the .NET framework is installed as we are deploying a .NET 2.0 app via logon script (ie XCOPY deployment) to all PCs in our network. The .NET app will be set to start when a user logs in, so we need to determine if .NET 2.0 (or higher) is installed before we deploy the app otherwise the user will get an error each time they log in. Is there any sure fire way to detect .NET via vbscript or batch file? All of the results I have found on google don't seem to be that reliable.
I have recently written a program that detects installed programs in the same way that Add/Remove Programs does but the problem with this is that even Add/Remove Programs does not seem to show the .NET framework on all PCs that have got it installed (like my home PC for example, definitely has .NET 3.5 installed but its not in the Add/Remove Programs list).
I want to create an If End statement like so...

I need to know a way to detect if the mouse has been clicked anywhere on the screen. So as long the program I am making is open when the user clicks my program needs to do something. Please let me know as soon as possible if this is possible and how you do it.
View 5 RepliesI have a program that parses INI files (yes yes, I know, but I'm stuck with using them, not my own request), and it downloads external images (if the INI contains the path) to the program and cache's them.
Recently, I've run into a snag with the system. Most of the images use Imageshack for storage, but one of them has suddenly 404'd, and whenever I set it to the picturebox to the downloaded image, I get an out of memory error rather quickly (and the file itself is 1kb).
I guess I need to implement a checking system offline to find out if the image is actually an image or just a '404' text...but is there a way to not have to implement this clientside, and have it be checked when I download it?

I have been playing about with the WM_SYSCOMMAND Message and more specifically with the SC_SCREENSAVE parameter which is a cool way to pick up when the screen saver is activated as seen below:[code] What I can't seem to find is if there is a way to detect when the screen saver comes off.
View 4 RepliesI've come across involving a PictureBox.I am trying to create a quick Paint-like application, but I want something to happen in it. I want it so that when you draw or have drawn in a certain area of the PictureBox, you trigger events to happen (but they must only trigger once. This doesn't mean only one event can happen, it's just that each event can only happen once). How would this be possible to implement in my code I have now?[code]

With the following code, I am creating a child form when my main form loads:
Public Class Form1
Dim cForm As New System.Windows.Forms.Form
Private Sub Form1_Load(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles MyBase.Load
[Code]....
Once it loads, the main form doesn't seem to handle the mouseclick event. Is that because the child fom is showing, and somehow IT has to handle the click event (even though I'm not clicking within the boundaries of the child form)?
How to emulate a mouse click with directinput?
like ive been searching for this for hours and can't find anything decent for VB 2008
I have an ActiveX component (for mapping) I am using that I need to do an action on a mouse click, but the event isn't exposed. Internally, the class seems to fire an event, as it has a LastPointClicked() method that you can call that returns the map coordinates of the last point you clicked on. I am trying to find a way to center the map on the point clicked. I could fudge it with some kind of timer that just checks to see if the LastPointClicked has changed and center if it did,
View 2 RepliesI've been trying to write a utility program that enables you to click a certain number of times and having a specified program open up when that happens. Ex: If I consecutively click 5 times it will open explorer, 6 times will open outlook, ect.I have the entire program writen out, the only things thats stopping its completion is that I can only log clicks that happen ON the form, not on the desktop, or within any window (globally detecting mouse clicks, as opposed to only on the forum

For some reason I have always used the SelectedIndexChanged property to take action when something is clicked (I guess because this is the default property? ie when you double click the listbox this is what you get). However I have often come across problems when I try to unselect all the items in the listbox by calling
