View 3 RepliesI created a game where you use the mouse to play, it's like the game labirynth. You can't touch the walls or you lose. When I start the level I want the cursor to appear in it's starting position, which is a red picturebox.
Here is the code I used:
Windows.Forms.Cursor.Position = New Point(679, 650)
The location where the cursor appears is actually dependent of the resolution of the screen.
For example: with my monitor resolution, the location (679, 650) is right on top of the picturebox i need it to appear on. but if you have a different resolution on your monitor it will appear on a different place. I need to actually make it appear on top of the picturebox.
in my program were ever you click on a picturebox it draws a image, that works, but the picturebox it in a panel so that when the picturebox gets to big scroll bars appear, that works, but when i scroll down the picturebox and click it wont put a image exacly were i clicke, but if i did not scroll at all and click it works just fine.

Is it possible to position a messagebox in the center of your MainForm instead of the center of the computer screen? This is really confusing for beginner computer users, if your mainform will be in the top left corner and the message box in the middle of the screen, it won't be very clear that the messagebox belongs to your application. (well to us it is, but not to old people).

I would like all additional forms opened by some command the user performs on the Form1 to open in the center of Form1, no matter where the user has physically moved Form1 on their desktop screen. The application itself (Form1) is a small box with dimensions of 442x306 that will open even smaller forms on top of itself. Right now, I have everything positioned to open in the center of the screen so, in theory, everything works/looks fine as long as the user doesn't move Form1 anywhere.

I'm adding the icon image of a process and adding it to a PictureBox. I want the image to be centered, but it's stuck in the Top Corner of the box.

Trying to set the cursor position in a RichTextBox. The contents of a document are opened into the RichTextBox and I would like the cursor to move to the very start of the text.
At the moment, I'm using:
Me.tbLowerBody.SelectionStart = 0
Me.tbLowerBody.SelectionLength = 0
However, this seems to provoke my "Would you like to save changes" dialog on closing the RTB even though no actual changes have been made.
I'm making some snippets and I want to position the cursor. I've come acros "$end$" but all examples I see are in c#. Since recently I've started programming in vb.net again and it seems $end$ isn't recognized or doesn't work here. Is there another keyword in vb to do the same?

I'm trying to set a new cursor position but I get this error:
A call to PInvoke function 'mon! WindowsApplication1.Form1::SetCursorPos' has unbalanced the stack. This is likely because the managed PInvoke signature does not match the unmanaged target signature. Check that the calling convention and parameters of the PInvoke signature match the target unmanaged signature.
Here is the code:
Declare Function SetCursorPos Lib "user32" _
(ByVal x As Long, ByVal y As Long) As Long
SetCursorPos(457, 603)

i need to add an text at the end of the cursor position in vb .net .i tried
TextBox1.Text = TextBox1.Text.Insert(TextBox1.SelectionStart, "<br>")
it works but the cursor position sets to starting position
This is maybe an weird question because I don't know if its possible so prepare .I am working on a project its a kinda autoclicker.It moves the cursor to positions and perform mouseclicks it all works perfectly.So when it runs you can't do something else on the pc because the cursor gets moved every 1-5 seconds.So I wanna now if its possible to kinda attach it to the program I am making it for so it moves the cursor and do clicks within the form of the program.

View 2 RepliesHow do I get the name of the (topmost?) control at the cursor position? The background: I implemented drag'n'drop from a dgv to a label and need to identify the control where the mouse button is released. I have enabled dropping on the label where the drop is going to take place. However, this label is the parent of say a hundred labels that are created dynamically in codebehind (I use this way to create a "dataview"). Therefore, I need to know which of these "child" labels the user drops the data onto.
I can get the mouseposition without problems (Me.PointToClient(Cursor.Position).ToString), but as I said, I can't get the name/text/ID of the control the user dropped the data on. Also, I ned to get the child control's name/ID/Text, not the parent label of course.In addition, it seems as if I can't select the row I click on in the dgv anymore, after I implemented the DoDragDrop on the CellMouseDown event. Any ideas? Should I use another event?

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.
