Is there a way to get a controls location in screen coordinates? (not
relative to the container it is in)?
Thanks,

System.Windows. Forms.Control
has a function called PointToScreen(P oint p), not sure whether this is
what your look for..

You can use the System.Windows. Forms.Control.P ointToScreen method to convert
from client coordinates to screen coordniates and the
System.Windows. Forms.Control.P ointToClient to convert from screen
coordinates to client coordinates.
n!
Is there an easy way to work with a controls location relative to the
form that it is in instead of the container? I need to do some
calculations based on where the control in the form but I can only seem
to find properties that give the controls location w.r.t. its container
which will through off all my calculations ;/
(right now I see the only way to do is is first convert everything to
screen coordinates then from there to form coordinates ;/)
Thanks,
Jon
This can be done by using the System.Windows. Forms.Control.P ointToScreen
( http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/lib...ttoscreen.aspx)
method to get the absolute screen coordinate of the point relative to the
Control, and then using the System.Windows. Forms.Control.P ointToClient
method
( http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/lib...ttoclient.aspx)
from the Form to get the screen coordinate of the point relative to the
Form.

Greetings.
I am trying to position opened forms so that they are cascaded on the
screen. I have discovered the movesize action (for the DoCmd) and Move
property of a form (for Acc 2002/2003). However, if the application is
opened up on different monitors (e.g.; 17" or 19"), the relative
location of the opened form is not the same (i.e.; on the bigger monitor
the opened form is too far over to the right and too high).
What I want to...

Hi,
I am buidling some controls dynamically in the .cs file, context menu. I am
wondering if there is any chance I could obtain the location of any controls
and set the location of another control to that location. i.e. just setting
and getting the location.
Concern:
1.When is the best time to get the location? After PageLoad?
CreateChildControls?

Hi,
I have a script for a CMS that preloads an image by setting the SRC
attribute. The problem is that the location of the image as seens from
the final HTML page depends on whether the CMS has search engine
friendly (SEF) url's urned on.
If it is not on, the location is just the normal absolute location of
the image, and it is then easy to fetch it.

Hi, I need to find a way to determinate where a control is on a windows form or panel control. I have a panel contro setted with autoscroll = true and when I move a control contained by it, I need to know where the control really is on the panel. So what the location show me is the position on the part of panel show in screen, it means that if I scroll the panel, the position of that control change.
Could some one help me?

In my book the book drags a datagridview and a detailsdatagrid onto the
form,
The person is able to set the two grids side by side.
In mine - i can only seem to set them under eachother.
Its almost like I am missing something like an 'absolute location' parameter
or something like frontpage had to drag items on the form.

hello,
i'm using ms access as the database for crystal report. when setting the connection in crystal report, it takes the absolute location of the *.mdb file, (C:\myProgram\database\.mdb)
so, when i copy the program to another computer, the crystal report won't work because the .mdb file is located on different location.
how to solve this problem?
Thank you,

Hello folks,
I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed.
