mouse position

I have a form that is 2000x700 it is meant to be run across two monitors
I want to get the mouse position relative to the form not to the screen is
there any kind of way to reference the forms position on the screen, to tell
where the mouse is in relation to the form and so that I can know which part
of a panel someone clicked on.
thanks in advance

You just have to convert from screen coordinates to client area coordinates....
I hope this help...

Look (closer) at the Control.MouseMo ve event (and other mouse events)
The coordinates 'are' relative to form (also called client coordinates).
Where did you get these screen coordinates ?
Are do things go different on a multi monitor system ?

The following are the problems and I hope that there is someone who can enlighten me or give me some pointers. Also, my testing code is attached at the end. And please don't ask me why I am doing this - it is one of functional requirements by all...

I track the mouse location like this code: function mousePos(e) { var p = new Object(); if(e) { p.x = e.pageX; p.y = e.pageY; } else { p.x = event.x; p.y = event.y; } ... (show) } document.onmousemove=mousePos; Seems to do fine on many browsers.

I have created a form designer type application (with a lot of you peoples helpJ). It has label controls that are draggable at runtime. The user is also allowed to change some properties such as forecolor, backcolor and font. The labels also are rotatable and the text can also be flipped 180 degrees (the flipped text part is still being worked on). I have one context menu for all 30 labels that allows for the property changes to the labels....

Hi! I have a round area which I want to be able to move the mouse over and fire off events... how do I do that? I have drawn a FillPie Graphics and I feel that there has to be a way of getting to know if the mouse is over that area since I have the coordinates to paint the Pie but I don't know where to start or what to look for really.

My test html is given below. With the iframe hidden the mouse coords are obtainable. With the...

If I have a number of random applications open, move the mouse cursor to a given position and do a click, the application gets the focus. That is what this simple code should illustrate: Dim pt As Point Dim wnd As IntPtr Const WM_LBUTTONUP = &H202 '//LButton up Const WM_LBUTTONDOWN = &H201 '//LButton down

I have the opportunity to rescue a project that uses a mouse to sense the relative position of a machine. The hardware is built...just needs to be programmed. Stop snickering!!! I didn't do it...I just gotta fix it. I need to make some calculations on the measurements and VB6 is my language. Yes, the system mouse will corrupt the measurement, but it's an auditing function and that's acceptable.

Overview: Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...

Let's talk about the concept of autonomous AI software engineers and no-code agents. These AIs are designed to manage the entire lifecycle of a software development project—planning, coding, testing, and deployment—without human intervention. Imagine an AI that can take a project description, break it down, write the code, debug it, and then launch it, all on its own.... Now, this would greatly impact the work of software developers. The idea...
