i'm trying to work on a seamless 'help' system on my new application, so that throughout the application, people can hover over different aspects of it to display a small window of help, which follows the cursor until the user leaves the aspect they hovered over. I have had a look around and can't find any good code for this, and tried some myself without success.
View 4 RepliesCan anyone with more experience with User Controls see what I've done wrong here? The mouse cursor disappears as soon as the user enters the area of the Form although MouseMove, MouseEnter and MouseLeave event handlers are firing correctly. I want an overridden custom cursor to appear on the form with a reticle such as occurs here in this image as per the code listed below and in a

I have a program that reads pixel colors in other applications, I've got the program working correctly but trying to hovor your mouse over a single pixel on the screen using the standard mouse "Arrow" pointer is a little difficult. I've created a custom cursor that is a cross hair of sorts that makes it easier to target specific pixels, is there a way to change the mouse curse to a specified cursor when the mouse is NOT over the controlling form?

View 2 RepliesI am trying to create an application that logs off a computer. I want it to check for mouse movement. If the mouse hasn't been moved in a certain amount of time then log off. I created an application for a form that if the mouse isn't moved in the form in 5 seconds the application closes. The reason I am trying to create this is because I work for the board of education and we have a problem with the teachers not logging off. The students get on there computers and mess stuff up. So my questions are:
1.) Is there a way to record mouse movements in windows instead of just the form? tutorials/info?
2.) Is there a way to execute a command like you would in a command prompt? For example if you type in shutdown -r it will restart the computer. tutorials/info?
3.) I do not want an interface for this just an icon in the task bar and for it to start on bootup. tutorials/info? When it reaches the time I want it to pop up with a form and say logging off in however many seconds and then logoff.

I'm putting the finishing touches to a fullscreen Winforms Application in VB (.net 3.5, VS2008). I need to hide the mouse cursor, so I've used:
Me.Cursor.hide()
this works exactly as you'd expect, until a timer triggered event runs (and no, the timer doesn't call Cursor.Show(),ANY event running seems to trigger this, and I have a lot of timers triggering events to control various aspects of my application).What I really want to accomplish is to have my application work like in Media Player, where the mouse cursor is hidden until I move the mouse or cancel fullscreen.Is there any way to hide the cursor until I move the mouse, close my form or exit fullscreen? I've tried lots of things, but can't find anything that actually works correctly (all due to triggered events running).
