I'm writting a small program to send data to another application.Have not probs with that, my only problem now is to get the coordinates relative to the screen of that application so I don't need to move it, when I start the application, or to avoid probs if the customer moves that application on the screen.Currently this is my code to find if the other application is running or not, and if running then move it to the left upper corner of the screen.
Dim nWnd As IntPtr
Dim ceroIntPtr As New IntPtr(0)
Dim Wnd_name As String
Wnd_name = "thisname"
How can I get x and y coordinates of a control's location on a form relative to the Screens Top Left corner?
For example, if I have 3 labels on a form and I want label2 and label3 to display the x and y of label1 relative to the screens top and left corner.
When running the app, as the form's possition is changed label 2 and 3 update the coordinate of Label1's possition relative to the top left of the screen.
I have a control on a form - I need to know the coordinates of that control relative to the FORM.
Now before I get six replies saying, "Control.Location DUH!!" that only works when the control's parent IS the form. What if the control is nested inside one or more container controls?
Could I write a routine that crawls up all parent containers until I reach the form calculating each offset as I go? Sure! But this extremely crude operation seems clunky to me - What I'm looking for is something a little cleaner.
So far the closest I've been able to come is this: Dim ClientPoint As Point = Ctrl.PointToScreen(Ctrl.Location) Dim LocationLeft As Integer = (ClientPoint.X - Ctrl.ParentForm.Left) - Ctrl.Left Dim LocationTop As Integer = (ClientPoint.Y - Ctrl.ParentForm.Top) - Ctrl.Top
The problem with the above code is: It does NOT take the Form's border or Titlebar into consideration... so this calculated location would be off slightly depending on what kind of border the form has.
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")
Using any version of .NET how do you find out which zone a particular share is classified under. I am having a problem identifying if a share where my referenced dlls reside is in the "intranet zone" or "internet" zone relative to some user machine that is running my .NET application. I suspect this is a problem because I am having a problem accessing referenced dlls from a share on some machines but not others. How can I tell which zone .NET is classifying that share in so I can adjust permissions accordingly?
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

I need help navigating to a local Url. I know how to navigate to a web site on the internet with webBrowser1.navigate (url...) BUTto navigate to a relative URL? Let's say I want to navigate a file called "index.html" or "index.aspx" and the file is local to the Web Browser Control.[code]...
I'm trying to open a text file in a program I've created but it won't work unless I specify it as an absolute file path. I can't seem to make a relative path name.
I'm trying to determine in vb if a URL is absolute or relative. I'm sure there has to be some library that can do this but I'm not sure which. Basically I need to be able to analyze a string such as 'relative/path' and

I was reading this article about relative time calculation
The problem is that the results are wrong due to the time offset. My webpage is Greek.So how should i modify that function to work correctly, including the GMT+2 or GMT+3 hours offset?
PROBLEM #1: I have a program that accesses several XML files that are located in a subfolder called "xmlfiles." This folder is a sub-folder in my project. I am using "Application.Settings" to store the locations of the XML files. For example, I have an entry for "JobsXML" that has a string with the file path of the XML file to load. To get these files to load, I had to use relative references: The path settings for "JobsXML" is "......xmlfilesjobs.xml"
I have to go up 3 directories because the files are in "debugin" during design. This will not be the case at runtime. This arrangement works fine in the editor, but when I make a "ClickOnce" package, the relative path will no longer work for installed applications. The directory will be different.
How can I setup my code so that the "xmlfiles" subfolder will be correctly used at runtime? I need to be able to run this from my project folder under "My Documents/Visual Studio 2005/Projects/etc..." and also, I need it to work from the runtime directory that the user installs the program to. So if the user installs the package to "C:temp" then the code should use the setting for "JobsXML" by going to "C:empxmlfilesjobs.xml."
PROBLEM #2: There is an attribute in some of my XML files that is also, a relative file reference. I have another subfolder called "images" that also resides in my project. This folder contains images that are loaded at runtime. In my XML file, each node has an attribute, "filepath" that has a value of "......imagesfilename.jpg". I also need to be able to access this relatively, just like the XMLfiles I mentioned in PROBLEM #1.
I have tried different combinations of StartupPath, Path.Combine and a few others, with no success. I am new to this so I could use some sample code to put this together correctly.
I am calling a program that runs in DOS screen.Is it possible to position this screen to always open exactly same cordinates relative to my FORM1 screen?Or is it possible to run the FORM1 to start at same screen cordinates all the time?
The Code:
Sub Install1_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Install1.Click instance = Process.Start(Application.StartupPath & "Driver.exe") instance.WaitForExit() End Sub
I've used the search function but couldn't yield any solutions. Sorry if I didn't look hard enough. Anyway, it's just a quick question. How can I find the mouse cursor X and Y co-ordinates relative to the form itself and NOT the screen?
I'm using VS2010 Express, and Visual Basic.I'm trying to make a fancy drop down list next to text box. When the user enters some text in the text box, the program will look up values in a database and show them in a list box (to easily select some existing items).The list box is in a panel control, which is initially hidden (and I have other stuff in the panel for other features.)If the query finds some entries in the database, I want to show the list box (and the panel and everything in it) and then move the panel so its top left location aligns with the top right location of the text box.I can get the panel to show (visible = true) but I can't get it to line it up with the top right edge of the text box.I'm using this code to move the panel after I set it visible.
Only, I would like to place the pdf file in the project's folder and that would open wherever the project's folder is (on the Desktop, a USB port, anywhere).
I'm trying to write a little Jukebox application in VB Forms, and I need the pathnames of the sound files (inTracks"Insert Name Here") to be relative instead of absolute, so that it may work on a different computer to mine. At the moment, I am testing with the simple Soundplayer class, and the single line of code to play a song is this: My.Computer.Audio.Play("inTracks" & txtCurrentlyPlaying.Text) It works when, instead of inTracks, I put the full pathname (C:Documents And Settings etc.), but not when I try a relative path such as this.
how to make buttons and other objects move to the center of the form and possibly grow in size when form is maximized and also move back to its position when minimized.
I have a project that is WPF4 and VB.net. I'm trying to set a mediaelement's source using a mediatimeline (inside a storyboard construct), so I can loop the mediaelement. However, I cannot figure out how to set the source to a relative URI in WPF. I know how to do it in VB.net, but by setting the source there, I can't have the media looping.How do I set the source of a mediaelement in a mediatimeline to a relative URI?
I tried saving the database as i did with images in the resource folder and used my.resources but this didnt work is there any way i can save the database into the project folder and link to it no matter whan machine i am on?
