Get The Size Of The Cursor?
Jun 16, 2009
Is it possible to get the size of the cursor through code? Note that I don't want the position, but the size of the actual cursor. The reason being so that I can make tooltips appear at the bottom right of it. AFAIK, cursor size isn't universal, but in order to get a tooltip to the bottom right of a cursor, you need this math.
Me.Left - MousePosition.X + cursor_size_x
Me.Top - MousePosition.Y + cursor_size_y
Right now I use 12x12 since I remember that being a relatively normal size, but I know it could be bigger too.

I added an ICON (called pencil) file in my resources in vb.net, I tried several codes to change the cursor... like this
Public Class Form1
Dim ms As New System.IO.MemoryStream(My.Resources.pencil)
Private Sub Form1_Load(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles MyBase.Load

I set the form's size with Me.Size = New System.Drawing.Size(500, 500). I display the mouse cursor's position when the event Form1_MouseMove fires. At the bottom right corner of the form, I read the coordinates 483,460 (instead of 500,500) I precise that the upper left corner has the coordinates 0,0.I also notice that the size of a control differs from the form's size. for example if Picbox1.height = Form1.height, then the Picbox will be bigger than the displayed Form1.

Anyone know how to make the text cursor (claret) wider in a RichTextBox control? It seems to ignore the setting in Vista settings and does its own thing instead. I wouldn't describe my vision as being seriously impaired - just middle aged!
On a high resolution screen it is a real chore trying to find the text cursor position. I've ended up doing a heavy kludge of putting a little image of an arrow on the screen attached to a timer control to track and point to the cursor position!!! This is a very silly work around. It must be possible to make the text cursor wider somehow? It is only one pixel wide and I can barely see it. I can't be the only one who struggles with these narrow cursors?

This VS010 solution is not providing my intended outcome as a custom override of a 'crosshair' or 'reticle' cursor e.Graphics.DrawPath() is the function that isn't working. This
WORKING solution demonstrates how it's supposed to work. The additonal PictureBox added to a Panel is, for reasons I don't understand, not allowing the 'new' cursor to appear.

Option Strict On

I have a user control, and want to be able to update its cursor while it is disabled. For example, say that I have a user control whose cursor is Default. The below code works ONLY when the user control is already enabled; if it is disabled the below code doesn't work and the cursor remains Default: Me.MY_USER_CONTROL.Cursor = System.Windows.Forms.Cursors.WaitCursor

How can I set the curosr to 'cursor.wait' for the whole display screen and not just for the application form? I have tried "Windows.Forms.Cursor.Current = Cursors.WaitCursor" And several variations but without success.

I have a custom cursor that I have as a ico file as cur files are only mono coloured and 32x32.
The only problem in using a ico file is that I can't set where the hot spot is and at the moment it is set in the middle of the icon which is no help
I was looking on the msdn website and it said to set the hotspot like this
Dim instance As Cursor
Dim value As Point
value = instance.HotSpot But I don't know how to set the point value to (0,54) which is where I want the hotspot to be located.

Now all went well about from using the structure correctly. The working of the structure was perfect. How ever i missed Two important issues. The structure needed a fixed size of 10 items (9 in programming terms starting from 0) And also out of the 5 items allowed to be chosen as one of the member types for the structure a limit of 5 items of that particular type.

I am currently writing a custom control, for a future project. The control uses custom cursors, but sometimes this strange error appears: Code generation for property 'Cursor' failed. Error was 'CursorConverter' is unable to convert 'System.Windows.Forms.Cursor' to 'System.ComponentModel.Design.Serialization.InstanceDescriptor'.

I have a label which appears full screen on a projector (VGA 2). In this label I will be sending strings. Some one liner's, some wrapped paragraphs. Some multi-line with carrage returns. My goal is to have the font dynamically change size to be as large as possible without overflowing the fixed label size.

Whats the font size real meaning? since when i use Arial font size 10 in the report its gonna take different space than the textbox im using (Both using exactly same font type/size/unit) its kinda if i set 10 milimiters to the font size why would the i and M for example have so diferent size.
i wish it was like in the Notepad where all the letters take the same space. what i need its to give a certain texbox(in the report) with auto grow to have always the same lines of height but its not posible to calculate it from vb b4 being inputed to the report.

This is the error message: "Expression is a value and therefore cannot be the target of an assignment." Never used height and width before. Been trying to find the answer, but it seems beyond me. Im sure its easy. Anyone know whats wrong with this?

when I click the Open button a file is opened and its items are sorted alphabetically. to do this I have doubled the size of my list. However, when I click the button again to reopen the same file, the items will ADD ON to the previous open-file event even though I have this piece of lstListboxTwo.Items.Clear()(the correct thing is to clear the previous items and add the new ones)So I think this has to do with the new size of my list..I think that I have to set the list size back to its normal size when re-clicking on the button.

I have wondered the solution to this question for many years! I doubt if anyone else knows much about it because the internet is absolutely zero help in this!
I have made a form1 with a webbrowser control on it. When the program is run it brings up the homepage (which is Google). However the homepage doesn't seem to fit inside the webbrowser control.
So I am hoping that someone could tell me how to make the (...I dunno how to ask this retarded question...) webpage fit completely (100%) inside the size of the webbrowser control. Meaning...I would like to see the entire webpage from the internet in the
size of the webbrowser control. To fill the entire size (whatever size I want).
Etc... if my webbrowser ontrol is seh, set to 600px by 400px, how can I program this so when it brings up the homepage (or any other page), it fills the entire size of the webbrowser control? Without any scrollbars. How to make the contents from the web
(or local) fill the size of the webbrowser - almost like a mini browser if you will.

I developed a form application on my computer, but when it was used in another computer with different screen size, i was told the form didn't fit. Do I have to adjust the form size or any other ways to let the form compatible on different screen size? (could be different screen size or wide screen)

So that's how I want it:
If I re-size the form, the textbox inside should be re-sized to fit the form, NOT DOCK!

Try it yourself: Plug in a USB flash drive (just a normal one with a single primary partition on it, as is the manufactures configured) to your computer.
Run WIM "Select * From Win32_DiskDrive"
Note the USB drive's size (in my case, it is a Kinston DataTraveller G3 2GB drive):
Win32_DiskDrive instance
BytesPerSector: 512
Caption: Kingston DataTraveler G3 USB Device
[CODE]....
Why the partition is bigger than the disk on which the partition is created and just a part of the disk?

I'm writing a couple of custom controls in VB.Net 3.5, in VS2008, and would like to resize the font size based on the height of the control, and vice-versa. Is there any way of converting a font of say 38.25pts into a me.height, or the other way round?
I realise the font width will change dependent on the font used (which isn't an issue for my purposes), but as far as I know, the font height is usually consistent Accessibility/Large font settings won't be an issue with this application.
