Mouse movements in form

[DanAusitn]

Good morning folk,

a quick question to anyone who can help.

i am working on a program and i am using the below code to simulate mouse movement to certain
co-ords, but the thing is the co-ords 0 , 0 refer to the position at the very top left of the monitor.
what i want is for the co-ords 0 , 0 to refer to the top left in my form so the mouse clicks and
movements stay inside the form.






Here is the code:

Public Declare Function GetDC Lib "user32" (ByVal hWnd As Long) As Long
Public Declare Function SetCursorPos Lib "user32" (ByVal x As Long, ByVal y As Long) As Long
Public Declare Function GetCursorPos Lib "user32" (lpPoint As PointAPI) As Long
Public Declare Function GetWindowRect Lib "user32" (ByVal hWnd As Long, lpRect As RECT) As Long
Public Declare Function WindowFromPoint Lib "user32" (ByVal xPoint As Long, ByVal yPoint As Long) As Long
Public Type PointAPI
    x As Long
    y As Long
End Type
Public Type RECT
    Left As Long
    Top As Long
    Right As Long
    Bottom As Long
End Type

any help will be much appriciated

Thanks

i think you are looking for

Private Sub Form_MouseMove(Button As Integer, Shift As Integer, X As Single, Y As Single)
 
End Sub

In the above form mouse move event you can get form mouse X and Y position in X As Single, Y As Single parameters.
