Another little problem.I have a form with a control (Picturebox or perhaps flash) which uses graphic hotspots instead of controls with handles so when the control receives a mouseclick, it does different things depending on the coordinates of the click.I can obtain the handle for the main control and can see where the hotspots are as they look like buttons and set a point to that location.How can I send a mouseclick (WM_Mousedown?) to the precise point on the control?If I'm not mistaken, using Sendmessage with BM_Click would tell the control it was clicked but without coordinates.I'm trying to do this using Visual Basic from Visual Studio 2008
how to view and populate a listview with a text file. Now I come seeking wisdom on how do create an effect based upon the location where a mousedown event occured.
Here is my example. (I like to give simple examples because it helps me learn rather than be given the answer and learn nothing).
I am working in vb.net, in a windows form. I have a map of Western Europe called picturebox1.
I want another form to pop up when a user clicks on a section of picturebox1. For example: I want a "Germany" form to pop up when the user clicks on Germany. And such for if France, Spain, Italy, Austria, England, Scotland, etc...based on the location of the mousedown event.
Historically, when working with a picturebox with sections that were rectangle, I would do little screenshots and overlay them over the picturebox and use that as a cheat.
The challenge here is that the countries are polygons and now I need to learn this for real. I am looking for a little direction on where to go to learn about a mousedown event that causes an effect based upon the location of the mousedown event.
This can be a challenge because each country is of different x, y location coordinates so I image I need to create an elaborate if or case statement to capture and evalute. However, I don't know how to acquire the coordinates of a mousedown.
I am running a program that is connected through the internet and i gets disconnected at times.I wanted to know how this would be to examine a color of a pixel , If the colour turns changes, my mouse will move to reconnect it.
How can I move my mouse curse to a specific coordinates ? For example no matter where the mouse is on my screen, I want it to go straight to the given coordinates.
i want to locate specific coloured pixel on whole screen (if i set it to red then it should point cursor on the first red pixel that was found on screen)i managed to get cursor coordinates and pixel color of place where cursor is pointing, but i cant figure this out.
I am trying to build a coordinates system but am having trouble with how to.. What I have sofar is a textbox that allows the user to enter a length. This length is user defined but never smaller then 610 in length since this is the minimum unit size we use to build timber frames. The overall length of a timber frame is infinite (well not really, but it is for what I want) the timber frame has beams every 610mm set apart from each other (this is a legal requirement) so I want my vb.net to set coordinates for each beam at intervals of 610 then write that coordinates system to a text based *.SCR file
I want to translate MouseArgEvent.Location (x,y) coordinates into my custom graph coordinates. Mouse Y coordinates increase from top to bottom while my grid's y value increase from bottom to top. Given my following code, I would need to create 21,500 separate conditional expression for 100(y) x 215(x) possible coordinate locations for my grid.
Sub OnMouseMove(ByVal e As System.Windows.Forms.MouseEventArgs) If e.X > 48 AndAlso e.X < 50 AndAlso e.Y > 397 AndAlso e.Y < 399 Then MessageBox.Show("about 0,0")

Develop a Company Logo application that allows users to draw shapes. The application should provide the user with RadioButtons to allow the selection of the next shape to be drawn. TextBoxes should be provided to allow the user to enter coordinates (X and Y coordinates) of the shape, the width and the height of the shapes. Users should also be able to change the shape�s colour.my question is how to allow the user to enter coordinates (X and Y coordinates) of the shape, the width and the height of the shapes and change the shape�s color from combo box. pro help
below is my code:

I currently have a form that uses Form1_MouseDown and Form1_MouseDoubleClick However, MouseDown is taking presidence over the doubleclick. How can i check to see if the user is doing a doubleclick and fire that event and not the single left click?
In vb6 when you wanted to alter the effect of a mouse click, you could use the mouse down event and alternate the action depending on the value of the shift, control and alternate key. (and also detecting if the right or left mouse button was clicked)
When trying these in my project, I couldn't find the right codes to do this. I can't imagine this feature isn't available so I'm sure I am just messing up somehow.
Im currently writing a program to control a Velleman k8055 usb interface, i started by assigning keyDown and Keysup to control outputs. this worked fine, now ive added buttons to control the same outputs with MouseDown and Mouseup. however when i start to debug, the mouseup and mousedown works fine, but not the keys? is there a special code to use them with one another.
Heres some of the codes for each..
Private Sub Button1_KeyUp(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.Windows.Forms.KeyEventArgs) Handles Button1.KeyUp If e.KeyCode = Keys.I Then ClearDigitalChannel(1)
Is it possible to handle a mouseDown event in VB.Net (2008) regardless of the control firing the mouseDown event? Basically, I just want to catch a mouseDown event at the "form level" and don't want to program mouseDown event handlers in every control. Is there a way to do this?
During a MouseDown event, I issue a DoDragDrop. In the subsequent DragDrop event, I call a DLL to update a Ms-Access database. The SQL is in error so there is an exception. I can catch the exception in the DLL but not in the MouseDown event. Stangely without any try block, stepping over the ExecuteNonQuery() returns me to the line next to the DoDragDrop without the debugger stopping on the exception. In release mode, the exception is completely ignored. There are posts talking about event being "indirect" but I dont understand.
When a MouseDown event occurs on a System.Windows.Forms.DataGridView I'm performing some action. But now I only want to perform said action if the MouseDown event occurs on any part of the Grid EXCEPT for the Headers (row or column).
i am trying to create an application like a media player....Say i got an option which changes the background image of the form,like skin or something!now i want to change the mouse events when that background image is active on the form... lemme give u an example of a code...
Private Sub FireToolStripMenuItem_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles FireToolStripMenuItem.Click Me.BackgroundImage = My.Resources.Fire TrackBar1.BackColor = Color.Yellow End Sub
Dim img As New Windows.Forms.PictureBox img.Location = New System.Drawing.Point(newx, newy) img.BackgroundImageLayout = ImageLayout.Zoom img.Size = New System.Drawing.Size(100, 100) img.Name = "img" & t
I need a mousedown function to cover all the images that are produced by the above code.The following code only affects the areas that aren't covered by the images. I just need something that covers the whole form
Private Sub main_MouseDown(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.Windows.Forms.MouseEventArgs) Handles MyClass.MouseDown MsgBox(Me.GetChildAtPoint(e.Location)) End Sub
I want to implement basic finger gestures within one of my apps, but have got stuck at the first hurdle. There are a few examples on the net, but they seem to use custom controls that do not allow easy use of other controls. I really just need a way to capture the MouseDown/Up methods even through a child control, still allowing clicks to be captured by whatever control has been clicked.
is it possible to draw an accurate circle in vb.net with mouseDown and mouseUp boundaries? I only manage to create circle-settings with rectangular boundaries using DrawEllipse. I've tried to work around it using pythagoras but it just doesn't work and I'm pretty sure I've got my maths right...
Is it possible to define a circle with DrawEllipse(pencil,x1,y1,width,length) ?
in a winform, in vb net,I have a list view with hoverselection set to true. I start a drag and drop operation when the mousedown event is fired, but it's fired only when i release the mouse button on the control or on the dropped control! is it a normal behavior?
i have a datagridview in which i want to know which row is selected by mousedown or keydown.. so in both case i want to use only ONE subroutine which can give e.rowindex , e.colindex value of datagridview...
Example..
Private Sub xyz (s as sender, e as keydownaurguments, m as mousedownaurguments) handles keydown, mousedown '\\ code end sub
I'm working with a project that is WPF and VB.net. I want to visually simulate "dragging" an object (though I do not want to use standard drag and drop for reason of purpose).Basically, I have a label object that, on its MouseDown event, I want it to follow the mouse cursor inside a 640x480 solid-size grid (but not outside of it!). Mind you, this grid is centered inside a full-screen window. Again, the object should not follow the mouse outside of the grid (I'm guessing a "ClipToBounds = True" here)Then, on the label's MouseUp event, I want it to either stay in its current position or return to its original position, as determined by the value of a boolean variable set by another object's MouseEnter property.Note, if it would be easier to work with, I can change the grid to a canvas in a cinch. I'm guessing that would be desirable.
How do I make the object (label) follow the mouse cursor inside the grid/canvas, but not outside of it? This needs to happen on the MouseDown event of the label.How do I make the object "stick" in its current position? (From this, I can probably figure out how to make it return to its original position on my own.
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?
Private Sub LMouseDown(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As MouseEventArgs) Handles MyBase.MouseDown
If allowMouseCoordinate = False Then Exit Sub Dim xPos As Integer Dim yPos As Integer If e.Button = MouseButtons.Left Then
[Code]...
But this only works if I press on form. But I have a tile based map covering the entire screen.How can I make it so, that It would check if I clicked on a picture box (or simply anything)?
I'm just new with visual basic. I would like to ask a question regarding coordinates.. Suppose I have object lets say a button how do i get the coordinates of the button in the form? also I want to button to move given a particular path, example if i draw a vertical line, the button will follow the line and move vertically. how do i get the coordinates of starting and endpoints of the line?
How would I be able to get the X,Y coords of another programs top-left corner? I am trying to make a program that "attaches" to the top of a foreign program.
I am using the following to store the X Y cords Private Sub Timer1_Tick(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Timer1.Tick MyX = Me.Location.X MyY = Me.Location.Y My.Settings.Save() End Sub But the Me.Location.X or .Y are not detecting the forms position when I move it?
it is designed to be able to interact with foreground windows and display certain bits of information as each foreground window is displayed. The foreground window will most of the time NOT be a windows form so this makes things that bit more trickier for me. The program below doesn't produce any errors but the problem arises when I try and get the X, Y coordinates of the cursor, at the moment when ever the cursor is moved around I get a very long number as the X and nothing returned for my Y. I find I can set the X,Y coordinates to anywhere on the screen, can also get the foreground forms title,it's RECT coordinates but need to get the cursor info correctly.
