Capturing Mouse Events In WebBrowser Control
Brief Overview of the Problem: I need to know the low level API call to capture a MouseIn/ MouseOut event in the Microsoft WebBrowser ActiveX control.
More Details:
I am using the WebBrowser ActiveX control which is included in the Microsoft Internet Controls (shdocvw.dll). I need to know when the mouse leaves my form. I am using another control on the form called Active Skin which changes the look and feel of the form. This includes a MouseIn and MouseOut event for the form. The problem is it thinks the Mouse is leaving the form when it goes into the WebBrowser Control. I need to know a low level API call to ask the WebBrowser Control if the mouse is inside it. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,

Capturing Player Position On 2d Map Array
Hey guys. I am new to this forum and I have been programming for about 2 years now. My math is not at all that great so therefore it tends to hold me back from great game and graphics programming. I am working on a simple game right now dealing with a 2d map array consisting of 17 cols by 17 rows:
dim Map(17,17) as integer
I want to be able to capture where the black box is as the Player.x and Player.Y
when the user presses on an arrow key and have the player pos move one direction
to the corresponding arrow.
I have done this once last year and have forgotton how to do it now.
Thanks for the help guys.
Capturing The Mouse
In my level editor, most of the editing happens by clickign and dragging the mouse.
Like zooming in or out can be done by holding left+right and drag up/down. Or to move the camera, simply hold left or right and drag in any direction. Or to move objects, hold Ctrldown while left dragging the mouse, or rotate by holding Ctrl and right drag left/right.
(Like in UnrealEd)
What I want is that during a such operation that the mouse is hidden can be virtually moved infitely and still move objects, zoom or cam pos.
I know how o hide the mouse with ShowCursor(True|False).
But how can I 'lock' the mouse, and only 'listen' to the mouse-movements and not the mouse-screen-position. And when the mouse button is released I show the mouse again, but I want it at the same position as it was clicked down...
Capturing Mouse Coordinates

Capturing Mouse Status?
Hey,
Is there a way to capture the status of the mouse?
I have a button, that each click on it moves a picturebox up/down (like a scrollbar) - what I want to do is so you wont have to click number of times on the button to move the picturebox, just one long click, like the scrollbar arrows, and it the picturebox will keep moving.
I searched in the allapi archive and could find anything useful.
Thanks in advance,
Kedmyster

Capturing External Mouse Events
Hey guys, I was wondering if someone could help me out with this. What I basically am looking for is
Code:
If MouseDown(vbLeftButton) = True Then
Msgbox "Left button has been clicked"
End If
I thought maybe this would help me out:
Code:
Private Declare Sub mouse_event Lib "user32" Alias "mouse_event" (ByVal dwFlags As Long, ByVal dx As Long, ByVal dy As Long, ByVal cButtons As Long, ByVal dwExtraInfo As Long)
But the thing is, its not a function which means it doesn't return anything. Could someone help me out?
Thanks!

Capturing Global ButtonClicks For Hourglass Mouse
I'm looking for ideas more than help. I have an application with over 20 forms. It has only now just occured to me that whenever a button is clicked I would like the mouse icon to become the hourglass icon, until the code from the button click is complete, then the icon can return to the arrow icon. Right now, the only thing I can think of is to insert Screen.mousepointer= x lines at the start and end of EVERY button click. This would be very time consuming, so I'm hoping that there may be a way to just write one function that will capture all button clicks. I'm not sure if there is an API command for doing this or not, but it will be tricky since I want to capture both the start of the button click event, aswell as the termination of the button click event. Does anyone have any ideas ?
Mouse Position
Hi,
I got a question about the mouse position...
I have one big partition which is build up with some small partitions. Now I want everytime I mouse over one of those small partitions that partition will change color. But I don't get the DirectInput working very good.. and to turn the x and y from the screen (given by Form_MouseOver) into the right x, y and z of the 3d world..
I use DirectX 7 and Visual Basic 6 but I thought I read somewhere that DirectX 8 has some kind of build in function for that. So if that true and if someone can get me that I could also change to use DirectX 8.
I hope someone can help me.
Sorry for my bad english but I'm not from an english speaking country but from the Netherlands

Getting Mouse Position (x,y)??

Mouse Position
I have an error dialog within a program which contains both a YES and NO command button. I would like to position the mouse on the NO button by default whenever the dialog is made visible. Any suggestions?
Thanks in advance.
Mouse Position
I am having issues with determining if the mouse is over a certain control (Frame, and also Labels). I spent some time looking through previous posts here, and I was able to piece together some code that does work, except for one drawback. I am able to determine if the cursor is over the frame, but I need to double click to trigger a click event on any of the controls inside the frame (or even to be able to enter text in a textbox, etc.). In the case of the label, I need to click like a hundred times to get the click event to fire.
I guess I am looking either for a better way to do this, or for a way to eliviate my issue with what I believe is the focus getting shifted back to the control I am clicking on (as the Form itself actually has the cursor at that point).
With this code I am just making the frame "Pop Up" or increase in size when the mouse is over it, so that the user can have more room and see more controls. This part is in the form...
Code:
Private Sub Form_MouseMove(Button As Integer, Shift As Integer, X As Single, Y As Single)
If fraMileage.Visible = True Then
If MouseOver(X, Y, fraMileage) = True Then
fraMileage.Top = 5695
fraMileage.Height = 1925
Else
If fraMileage.Top = 5695 Then
fraMileage.Top = 6750
fraMileage.Height = 870
End If
End If
End If
End Sub
Private Sub fraMileage_MouseMove(Button As Integer, Shift As Integer, X As Single, Y As Single)
' When the mouse is dragged across the control, set the capture.
If GetCapture <> Me.hwnd Then
SetCapture Me.hwnd
End If
End Sub
... and this part is in a module.
Code:
Option Explicit
Public Declare Function SetCapture Lib "user32" (ByVal hwnd As Long) As Long
Public Declare Function GetCapture Lib "user32" () As Long
Public Declare Function ReleaseCapture Lib "user32" () As Long
Public Function MouseOver(X As Single, Y As Single, objCtrl As Control) As Boolean
If (X > objCtrl.Left) And (X < (objCtrl.Left + objCtrl.Width)) And _
(Y > objCtrl.Top) And (Y < (objCtrl.Top + objCtrl.Height)) Then
MouseOver = True
Else
ReleaseCapture
MouseOver = False
End If
End Function
Thanks in advance for any help that anyone can give me.

Mouse Position
Hello all I'm trying to make a program where the user can press the down key on a picture and the picture zooms up at that point. My question is how do I know exactly where the mouse is? Is there some easy way to detect the mouse's coordinates, I was hoping that vb might have a built in way to do this like mouse.Left or something but I have a feeling that is wishful thinking.
Thanks

Mouse Position Help
Okay, I did a search and found nothing useful, so im going to ask
Basicly, I need to get the current mouse position, move it over a control, get the position again and call a function.
Why I am doing this:
I have a custom messaegbox (bubble box) that appears when an error happens. When an error occurs, I want the mouse to move to the control that has the error and then call the messagebox to display the message.
Also, is it possible to change which current active tab is selected?

PSet And Mouse Position
A part of a program I'm making needs to be able to put a dot where the user clicks. I'm not very familiar with pointapi and am looking for a simple way to do it. I tried pointapi and the dots were appearing at the topleft of the screen, when I was clicking in the middle.
I'm still willing to learn about pointapi though. I haven't quite figured it out yet.
