Hi. I am trying to find the cursor coordinates inside of a window, not a
form. I would like to display the coordinates of the cursor when you click
inside of the window. Either that, or have the current coordinates of the
cursor displayed as you are moving it around inside of the window. Thanks for
any help with this. 3 1582
This is what I done:
1) Start a new Windows application
2) Add a timer (Timer1) to the project, enable it & set it to 100
3) Double-click the timer & paste this in:
Private Sub Timer1_Tick(ByV al sender As System.Object, ByVal e As
System.EventArg s) Handles Timer1.Tick
Dim intX As Integer = Cursor.Position .X
Dim intY As Integer = Cursor.Position .Y
Me.Text = String.Format(" X={0}, Y={1}", intX, intY)
End Sub
When you run it, the text of the form will show the coordinates of the
current mouse position
I hope this helps
Thanks, but what i need is to be able to find the coordinates inside of a
window, not screen coordinates.

The form has a PointToClient and a PointToScreen method that maybe able
to help you get the point into the correct coordinates...

Hi,
I'm trying to limit the movement of the mouse cursor in using a VB app. The
idea is to stop the cursor straying on to the second monitor of a dual
screen set-up (i.e. a projector) while this program is running.
I've found and have been working with Knowledge Base Article 179192
(http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;179192) which
limits the mouse movement to inside a form, but I'd like to adapt this to be

Hello,
I want to try to retrieve the cursor position x and y relative to the form
the cursor is over.
The way I am doing it now is:
1. Retrieve the left and top position of the form relative to the desktop
2. Retrieve the desktop cursor position.
3. Take the difference of the forms left and top position. Adjust the
desktop cursor position based on this.

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.
