Disable Double Click Based On Mouse Position
In the MouseDown event of a flexgrid I can access the y co-ordinate of the mouse.
When you double click on a flexgrid - I assume the mouse down event triggers first.
When I right click on a particular flexgrid I pop up a menu.
when I double click on the flexgrid, I show a form.
If I click on the flexgrid below the last row, I don't want the double click to work.
So, how can I detect the y position of the mouse when I double click?
If I retrieve it from the mouse down event - and determine the mouse has been clicked below the last row of the grid - how can I cancel the double click event?
i.e. if in the first click of a double click I determine I want to cancel the double click, how can I do that?
Thanks for any help.
Position Form Based On Another Control
Hello, I am working on this game and need help with some form positioning. Since I have used the game so far on a Windows 2000 and XP I am seeing an issue. I have the main form and then another form opening up ontop of this form. The form that opens is positioned to cover a specific part of the main form. If I do the math on one computer, it looks different on the other because of the change of the borders and everything, the top/left get messed up.
I thought I would use a control on the form. Like setting a border around the area and then usign its top/left position but I can get that to work correctly. Can someone help me position 1 form based on a location of a control on another, so on any Operating System, they will line up correctly.
Please help.
Enemy Angle Based On Player Position
Im trying to program some simple ai, but i can't seem to get my enemys to chase my player because im not sure how to get the enemys rotation angle relative to the player position for example, say that the enemy's X,Y is 50,50 and he is currently facing at an angle of 0 deg (looking up in the window) and my player is at 25,75, that would put the player above and to the right of the enemy (in an overhead world), now i know that i have to find the distance between the enemy and the player, and then eventually use the sine and cosine to get the enemy to rotate and move towards the player, but what i want to know is how to get the angle that the enemy must fact inorder to walk in the direction of the player.
I know there is probably a solution to this question somewhere within this forum, but i've been searching for over 4 hours and haven't found it, well at least i haven't found a solution that i can get to work, so any help would be greatly appreaciated. Thx in advance

Position On Screen
Hi,
When the user selects any cell in column #2 in my Data Grid control I want a combo box to be placed in the exact position of that cell (same left, top, height, width as the cell clicked).
I already know how to make the combo box appear at the same left, height, and width, but I cant figure out how to make it appear at the right top (y-axis position).
How do you find out the top position of the current row the user is currently in???
Thanx

Last One I Promise - Screen Position
Didnt know if this was "graphics" or not - so i stuck it in here..
I want an object (textbox, picture, whatever) displayed at the top right corner of my form (in fullscreen). My problem is that I am using a large monitor. If a user has a smaller monitor, it cuts off part of the picture, or doesnt show it at all. How can I code it to position itself at the top right corner????
How do I also make it display center screen?
Form Screen Position
I am wanting to detect (ie. fire an event) when a user has finished moving a form around the screen. I want the user to be able to click on the capiton bar, move the form and then when the form has finished moving output the new form co-ordinates in a message box or debug window. I can gather the co-oridinates before but getting them after is the problem. Any ideas?

Get The Screen Position Of The Cursor
Hi
I am trying to find a way to make the mouse cursor move to the keyboard cursor position in an application. For example, I use an application called Enterprise Guide, and I control this application using Dragon naturally speaking as I have a disability that makes using the keyboard quite difficult.
I often have to say the name of an object to make to be the active or highlighted object. However to do something such as drag and drop in Dragon NaturallySpeaking , I need to have the mouse at the same position that I want to drag from.
I know there are functions such as GetCursorPos - but this appears only to work in terms of the mouse position. What I would like to do is to find the coordinates of the current active highlighted object. An example of this could be, in windows explorer, if your mouse position is on the right-hand side of your screen, but you have a folder highlighted in the left pane. How could you move the mouse cursor to the location where the highlighted object is?
I would appreciate any suggestions, or any links to any sites that may assist me.
Thank you for your help

Making A Game: Screen-based System
Hello there,
I'm making this game and the basic code is ready, i.e. easy choises are made.
Now if I want to go further with this project I'll need some basic scheme or whatever you'd call it on how the game's going to be working.
I was thinking about this screen-based system.
This means you've got files discribing each screen with it's object on it. So a splash would have one big picture, a menu would have several buttons and background etc. etc. .
It's not the code that's bothering me (actually i've already written it ) but I want to know If doing so is a good or a bad idea?
Any suggestions, other (hopefully better) methods, ... are more then welcome.
thanx in advance,

HELP! Check For A Programs Position On Screen
how can i run a check as my main form is moved to see if it is within 50 pixels away from the left side of the screen and as you move it if it is, then make it jump or dock to the left side?
i also need it to dock to the top and right of the screen but i think i can figure those out once i learn how to check while i'm moving th form.
the only way i can think of is by using a timer but is there any other way?

Window Position Vs Screen Size
I'm using the SetWindowPos API to open an instance of Word exactly the same size as a control on my form and in exactly the same place as that control (don't ask me why - odd users...). Problem is, I have to apply different factors depending on the screen resolution. For example, this factor of 12 works with my resolution of 1280*1024 and large fonts:
VB Code:
Option Explicit Private Declare Function SetWindowPos Lib "user32" _ (ByVal hwnd As Long, ByVal hWndInsertAfter As Long, _ ByVal x As Long, ByVal y As Long, ByVal cx As Long, _ ByVal cy As Long, ByVal wFlags As Long) As LongPrivate Declare Function FindWindow Lib "user32" Alias "FindWindowA" _ (ByVal lpClassName As String, ByVal lpWindowName As String) As Long Private Sub cmdWord_Click() Dim blnAlreadyOpen As Boolean Dim lngHWnd As Long Dim appWord As Word.Application Const klngHwndTopmost = -1 Const klngHwndNoTopmost = -2 Const klngSwpNoActivate = &H10 Const klngSwpShowWindow = &H40 Const klngLEFT_ADJUST As Long = 50 Const klngTOP_ADJUST As Long = 335 Const klngFACTOR As Long = 12 '# If Word is already open, refer to it; otherwise open it blnAlreadyOpen = (FindWindow("OpusApp", vbNullString) <> 0) If blnAlreadyOpen Then Set appWord = GetObject(, "Word.Application") Else Set appWord = CreateObject("Word.Application") End If '# Get the handle of the Word instance lngHWnd = FindWindow("OpusApp", vbNullString) '# Set the position and activate it SetWindowPos lngHWnd, klngHwndNoTopmost, _ (Me.Left + txtSizeTest.Left + klngLEFT_ADJUST) / klngFACTOR, _ (Me.Top + txtSizeTest.Top + klngTOP_ADJUST) / klngFACTOR, _ txtSizeTest.Width / klngFACTOR, txtSizeTest.Height / klngFACTOR, _ klngSwpNoActivate Or klngSwpShowWindow appWord.Visible = True appWord.Activate End Sub
... but it doesn't work when I reduce it to 800*600 with small fonts - Word is too large when it opens.
Any idea how to find out the resolution and adjust for it?
Thanks...

Msflexigrid - Add Weekdays Based On Calendar Click - Is This Possible

The day numbers would need to sit under the correct day header as follows:
Header row: Sun Mon Tue Wed Thur Fri Sat
Data added: 27 28 29 30 31 1 2
Firstly, is this doable? and secondly, can anyone advise as to where i start - I have never used flexigrid or calendar. I have worked through flyguys tutorials, but have found nothing yet that can help me do this.
Any advice/help would be most appreciated
Mouse Click Based On String Manipulation
Ok. So what's happening is I have a program running off of many timers, and it needs to do the following.
-I will login under my username, and get things started.
-Every X seconds (20-30), the program needs to pull data off a website.
-Then, I need the program to find a certain part of all the data (I guess using InStr to find the data), and click on the other link (because if it can find the data, I already have it).
That's where I am stuck. I do not know how to code the program to pull the data off the site and click on the other spot. It will be looking for a line of code that shows the html, and if the colour is blue, I've already got that data, yet if it is yellow, I need that data.

Screen Position To Form Control Math.... HELP!
I am using the
Private Declare Function GetCursorPos Lib "user32" (lpPoint As _
POINTAPI) As Long
Private Type POINTAPI
x As Long
y As Long
End Type
Dim a As POINTAPI
Dim b As Long
Dim c As Long
API to read the position of the mouse.
Now I need my form to use twips since I dynamically am adjusting position of all form controls on form resize and I tried pixels and it was a mess.
Now I use the mouse position in conjunction with Microsoft HTML Object library pointing to the currently loaded page in the webbrowser control.
Say a link is on the page. I use the mouse X,Y to check if it is over a link.
BUT
The API returns positions that to not work with the browser.
I will be like 30 pixels above a link and it thinks I am on it.
I tried adjusting it and it still didn't work.
Is there some math solution to get the returned X and Y to be X and Y for the browser control? Wouldn't it have to account for different screen resolutions and form sizes?
The code attached is in VB 5.
Thank you for any help
Mike
