View 1 RepliesI am working with a PictureBox and trying to click on the picture and OnClick i want to capture XY coord from the cursor.
I am using the following code
Private Sub PictureBox1_MouseClick(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.Windows.Forms.MouseEventArgs) Handles PictureBox1.MouseClick
Dim X As Long

The issue i have is that no matter where i click on the picturebox it returns a 0 for both the X and Y coordinates.
I read something somewhere about seting the Scale to Pixel but that doesnt seem to be working for me.
I have a vary big picture with a map on it but the picture is 4110, 4110 X Y. Any way to jump to an x y coords on the picture its all in a panel control.

Can I close a specific Url window? I have a specific url that starts with [URL]. It is a popup advertisement. I am looking for something like this: If Process.ProcessName.Url.StartsWith [URL] Then Process.Kill() (I know that this line has nothing to do with VB .Net)
View 2 RepliesBasically I want to move my mouse to the coords that is received based on the location of a certain coloured pixel. I can get the coords of the pixel but when using them on mouse position, the mouse position is based on the entire screen rather than the form. How could I change the position coords based on the form rather than the entire screen. E.G. If a certain coloured pixel is 2,2 in a form and I put that as the mouse position, it would go outside the form but I dont want that. I want it to hover of the pixel coords
This is my
Dim bmp As Bitmap = DirectCast(PictureBox1.Image, Bitmap)
For x As Integer = 0 To bmp.Width - 1
For y As Integer = 0 To bmp.Height - 1
If bmp.GetPixel(x, y) = (Color.FromArgb(108, 90, 60)) Then
Windows.Forms.Cursor.Position =
End If

how do you send a mouse click to a window that seem to not accept them? I have tried sendmessage/postmessage, mouse_event and sendinput. None of them seem to work. Whenever the target window is in the foreground, i cant set the cursor position or do mouse_event click at all. But once it went to the back, everything works... cursor.position moves the mouse, sendinput and mouse_event can click on a different window, just not the one i want.

View 3 RepliesI'm working on a project for personal use. I have a web Cam where I took out the lens and replaced it with Blue and Red Cellophane, to filter out light.
The web cam is fed into VB and an infrared (IR) light is shined into the web cam from different positions.
This produces a Black image with a bright white dot moving around.I would like to know if there is a way to get the Dots coordinates (or any other way to measure relative movement from the first dot).[code...]
Would it be viable to take snapshot of webcam's video and search with this engine? (I assume testing is the only way which I am about to try...)
I have a filter that is used to populate a grid view and the url will conain: /example/grid?value1=1&value2=2
It will then have a link to page 2, which allows them to edit something.I then want them to click a link that will send them back to the gridview under the same parameters of: /example/grid?value1=1&value2=2
Is this possible? How do I hold on and fill in the URL values so it knows how to refill the grid view accordingly?
I want to show a ContextMenuStrip beneath a MenuStrip item when that item is clicked. Stuff in the ContextMenuStrip changes dynamically. The ContextMenuStrip is used in a DataGridView. I don't want to duplicate the same items in the MenuStrip.
I can get the mouse coordinates OK, but I don't want that. I want to use the ContextMenuStrip show method referenced to a control. An item in the MenuStrip is not a control, but the entire MenuStrip is a control. If I can get the x-y position of the item in the MenuStrip I can show the ContextMenuStrip in the right place, and it will look just as if it was part of the MenuStrip. how to obtain the location of the MenuStrip item that's active.

View 13 Repliesif its possible to have mouse events like mouse movements, mouse clicks and so on in a specific window only. I'm not sure if you understand this so ill give you an example.
Okay lets say i want this program to only click within a window like Firefox or windows media player only. So that means if i minimize the window it will still click inside that window while its minimized, and i could continue doing other things while its clicking inside that window.

View 2 RepliesSo now I'm working on the map editor for my game. The map itself displays 32x32 pixels out from the upper and left bounds of the form. Each tile is also 32x32. So then i have two labels which display the corresponding coordinates divided by 32, this way it would show you x: 7, Y: 8, or whatever. The issue is that the map will be like 15x10, and when moving the mouse to the 15th row/column, it shows 15, but then moving to the 14th row, still shows 15. The rest of it works fine. Here is the code.
Private Sub FrmDesign_MouseMove(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.Windows.Forms.MouseEventArgs) Handles Me.MouseMove
If e.X < (subZone.Width * 32) + 32 And e.X > ((subZone.Width * 32) -

View 2 RepliesI wonder if it is possible to find a specific row and specific columns in data base file (Access) . You see , I am using a DataGridView control to show only SOME of the columns (fields) of a table from an Access file . For example , lets say that in the DataGridView control I only show the following fields :Field1 , Field2 and Field3 .Now , when the user selects an entry in the DataGridView control , I want to insert the text from Field4 into a text box on the form .
The problem , however , is that I don't know how to get the specific row in the data base file and also I don't know how to get the text in column (field) Field4 of that row .One thing that might be important is that the index of the row in the data base file is not necessarily the same with the index of the current row in the DataGridView control . This is because in the DataGridView control the rows are order by the contents in the ID Field .ol .

[code]x and y is the location of the color, FFCC66 is the color program is searching for, the last 4 numbers is where the program is searching for the color like between x: 1 y: 1 and x: 405 and y: 371.

VB express 2008 .net 3.5 or .net 4.0 VB express 2010?I have written application to convert RTF to HTML. The main Purpose of the application is to copy VS code to the clipboard and covert it then put it back into the clipboard as a HTML Document so that it can be pasted into a HTML document such as Windows Live Mail. I found that code copied and pasted is spaced out in in the wrong positions.
The applications works perfect with no bugs so far. I then asked Myself how to go about doing the copy with the least amount of operator interaction. So I added an Icon to the Icon Tray with a right click menu to use to convert once the Rich Text Format was copied to the clipboard. This works fine except you have Five steps, Select the text, Copy to clipboard, Right Click the icon, Select the Converter and Paste. The normal is three steps.
To this the best solution is to add a context menu item to the active form such as the RTF editor or window. So that when you select the Rich Text to copy and right click on the form to bring up that menu then to Just Select the menu Item such as "Copy RT and Convert" I searched and found about 544000 Items and tried to restrict down to no avail. I read until I finally gave up. I did not find any code examples of this. Almost every thing I found related to the web or some other explicit document like Excel and not to the Various windows that could be active with RT in it.
how do you add a context menu item to the context menu of an active rich text format window such as WordPad or VB?I have test in my application that tests to see if it is a RTF in the clipboard so if it is not the converter does nothing.

View 6 RepliesI'm currently programming a program that should automatically click on a box when it pops up in the form I've made. The annoying thing is that, the box is popping up in different places every time.
