im trying to make a standby mode for my program that resets the timer when the mouse moves, is it possible to make the mouse move event trigger when the mouse moves anywhere on the desktop not just inside the form window because i cant find any articles regarding this online and i don't know how to do it
I'm a really beginner so i want to know if its possible to make the mouse move to certain co-ordinates outside of your form and then click , and then pause before repeating.
I need to draw lines each time a mouse moves over teh form....
currently i use the Mouse_Move( ) event, this caputures my mouse moves. and it creats lines. But i need to draw those lines on to the form.
This lines are not drawn when form_laod() fires that will trigger OnPaint(). Te lines must be drawn to the form when the mouse moves over the form.
How do i do this? I currently know how to capture the points evenry time mouse moves but i dont know how to draw the lines each time mouse moves. this is because im in dount of the event that i have to use.
I have a Windows form in VS2010 with a rectangular area that I draw in with Graphics.DrawImage for best performance. I want to create a Mouse-move event handler just for that area (to change the cursor when the mouse is inside it), along the lines of handlers for the other controls on the form. But since the rectangle isn't a PictureBox or Panel or other control, I don't see an obvious way to handle it. A mouse-move event handler for the entire form could affect the performance of the app.
Apologies as this has probably been answered a million different times a million different ways already. I'm trying to control the mouse. I wish to move the mouse to a given pixel position (x, y) and cause a click. I don't want this to be limited within a form, as I want to control another application. I'm using VB 2005.
I'm currently debugging a form that sets a flag when the mouse button is pressed, then clears the flag when the mouse button is released. As long as the mouse button is pressed, the user can move the mouse around and a few things happen depending on where they move. One of the things that happens is that a timer starts, or stops, and a few things change color depending on the mouse position. The timer starts when it should, then stops when it should, but once stopped, it is not re-starting when it should. I can verify that MouseMove events are getting through, because coloring changes as I move the mouse, as it should. This would be a simple thing to debug...except that it requires the darn mouse button to be down, and it uses the mouse move event. Anybody who has put a breakpoint in a mouse move event handler knows the issue: There are THOUSANDS of them. Worse yet, since the mouse button is necessary for switching to the IDE, as well as setting a breakpoint (technically, a keyboard shortcut could do this if I could shift focus), I can't wait for the problem to happen, then switch to the IDE and set a breakpoint to see what is happening then.Does anybody have any tips or techniques for debugging in mouse move events when the mouse button is down and has to stay that way? As it is, I'm going to have to write some funky code into the method just so that I have a place to get a breakpoint when I need it without breaking on every one of the mouse move events.
If I put this code in the form, the mouse will be moved once. I want it to "freeze" the mouse at the point that its moved at. If I put code in timer (which it is now), the mouse will keep searching for the color, so the mouse moves around like crazy. How do I change my code so that it will "freeze" the mouse once it finds the color? [Code]
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.
How should I go about getting my mouse position over multiple controls, and such. I can't use the form_mouse move event, or any other control event nor can I use them all at the same time cause that would conflict with the actual position I need for an object.
I 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.
Can 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 VS2010 solution on SkyDrive.

Is there a way to just move the mouse up and down a little, like a little shake, every 5 minutes or so? I've tried to find ways to do this but I'm very confused. I'm fairly new at visual basic but I think I could understand it if someone gave me an example code with an explanation.
I need to be able to find out if the mouse has been moved, if the mouse hasn't been moved in a minute then use Cursor.Hide() to hide the mouse, if the mouse is moving then I want the mouse to be shown.
To get the Position of the mouse use this: Cursor.Position.X Cursor.Position.Y I don't know how to do this
Through the years i have been programming i have found myself needing to move the mouse in a line. making the mouse move from one point to another is no problem at all, but i want to make the mouse move slowly in a straight line from one point to another.
I'm making a very simple space invaders game using pictureboxes.The goal is to have the space ship move with the mouse.I tried this code but the space ship simply disappears when I mouse over the form.I only want the spaceship to move along the x axis.[code]
I have a form with a picturebox and I want to be able to drag the picturebox up and down with my mouse. I'm currently using a trackbar to move the picturebox up and down like this[code]...
I was having a problem with my vb.net 2005 program.. It was installed in a VPN and i access it my home.. it has a backend database of MS Access (more than 20 tables & 20 queries)the problem, is when I'm using the program for 4hours and above, it is taking slow or sometime it cause my PC to hang or I can't move my mouse anyway..
