Paste With Position Control
Ok, this is likely stupid but I can't find an answer and I figured a guru here would know if from the top of his or her head
I am pasting text to a dropdown box as the user types characters into it, updating the dropdown as he goes along (that is the easy part)
To do this, I .clear the list with every character change, which means I have to clear the text, which means I have to replace it.
The pointer, then, is as the front of the text string instead of the end. What I need to do is to paste with the pointer at the end of the text string, so that the user can just keep typing
Anyone know how?
Thanks!

Control Startup Position
Hello all. I was wondering if anyone could tell me if it is possible to control the startup position of a seperate app? I am using VLC's media player to stream a terrestrial digital TV signal. The preferences with that app allow me to set the size etc but not the startup position. The code i use to launch the app from within my VB6 app is:
Code: Shell Chr(34) & "C:Program FilesVideoLANVLCvlc.exe" & Chr(34) & " -vvv udp://@239.192.68.111:5000 -- width 776 -- height -100", vbNormalNoFocus
If it is not posssible to directly control the startup position can anyone suggest some sort of work around. Thanks people

Cursor Position In A TextBox Control
Hey Guys,
I was wondering if anyone knows how to determine the cursor position within a textbox control, or if not,suggest a work around for the following scenario:
I have an MSFlexGrid that I want to allow users to edit. Obviously, a bit of programming allows one to place a text box over the active cell in the grid. This is easy, and works without incident, but I want to add a bit more functionality by allowing the user to use the up/down left/right keys from within the textbox control to move around the grid. THe catch is that I only want the left/right keys to change the grid cell if the cursor is in the first column of the text, or the last column of the text respectively. Since there is no guarantee that any text will be HighLighted, I cannot use .SelStart.
Any thoughts would be helpful,
Thanks,

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.

Position A Textbox On A Richtextbox Control
Hi
I have to design an interactive form where there are lots of explanatory texts and then some textbox controls that should naturally merge into the flow of text. For example a form would have the following:
Your name is <textbox> and address <textbox>.
I have tried using a RichTextbox control where the text contains a specific tag where I expect the textbox to be. I then get the character position of the tag using Find method. Once I get the position I use getLineFromChar to determine the line on which the tag appears. I then use the average height of a character to determine the pixel position of the tag and add this to the top property of the richtextbox. However, I can't find a way to determine the positon of the tag from the left of the richtextbox. This would enable me position my textbox at a particular position within the RTB during runtime.
Does anybody have any idea on how I can achieve this ? Or else, is there an altenative to using RTB ?
I cannot replace the textbox controls since the user should be able to edit the name and address.
Thanks

Position Of Nodes In A Treeview Control
Is there any way to determine the position of a node in a group of child
nodes in a Treeview control? For example:
Days of Week
.... Monday
.... Tuesday
.... Wednesday
I would like to be able to programmatically determine that Monday is the
first child node, Tuesday the second and so on. Also, if I drag and drop
the child nodes, I need to be able to determine the node's new position.
For example (as the result of a drag and drop):
Days of Week
.... Wednesday
.... Tuesday
.... Monday
I now need to know that Wednesday is the first node, and so on.
Thanks for your help
Control The Position Of Components Depending On Others
Hello all,
I was wondering if it's possible to place components on a form
depending on the size of another component.
Let's say I have a datagrid that gets populated from a database.
Depending on the choices of the user, that qill create a query, and
depending on that query, the datagrid might have 10 rows or it might
only have 1. I want to place a radiobuttonlist as well as a label just
beneath the datagrid, but in the design view, I place it right under
the datagrid. And when the datagrid has many rows, my label gets mixed
in the datagrid. Or if it has only one row, the label is way underneath
it....at the bottom.
How can I control the position of components depending on others that
get populated at runtime ?????
I know one of u guys knows this......has to!!
thanks in advance!!

Determinig The Position Of A Control On Its Parent Form...
Im making a graphical button control and I quite like the idea of a floating image when the mouse is over the control, but I cant quite seem to locate the control on the parent, I'm using the GetCursorPos API function to locate the mouse position wherever it is, but I need to compare that to the controls x,y co-ords in its parent... I tried this:
ObjectXCoOrd = UserControl.CurrentX
ObjectYCoOrd = UserControl.CurrentY
But it returns a 0 value all the time... Any help please? Just a pointer in the right direction would be great.

Access: Fixed Position Under Can Grow Control?
On my Access Report, I have two columns of data (to make it fit on one page). on the right side at the top is a Can Grow text box. It works well and pushes the information on the right side down properly, but it ALSO pushes the information down on the left side, even though no part of it extends over these controls. Is there a way to fix a position of a control so that the Can Grow textbox does not change its position?
This question has been asked before with no answer, but hopefully I can get one this time:

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

VB.NET Custom Textbox Control Cursor Position
Hello,
I've created a custom control inherited from the Windows.Forms.Textbox control. Basically it's a textbox that pulses in color when it has the focus. It uses a bitmap (gradient) to paint the background of the textbox, therefore I have to override the method to paint the text to make it visible.
Everything works how I want it, except for the cursor position in the textbox. When I type something into the textbox (runtime), the blinking cursor doesn't position correctly. This also depends on the font(size) I use. For example: with a larger font the cursor appears 2 or 3 letters in front of where it's supposed to be and with smaller fonts it appears farther to the back than actually should be. This is only a visual problem because backspace, delete, etc. work correctly. Does anyone have a clue of which method/property to override or shadow?
This is the code I use to draw the text into the textbox:
CODEProtected Overrides Sub OnPaint(ByVal e As PaintEventArgs)
Dim g As Graphics = e.Graphics
g.Clear(Parent.BackColor)
Draw(g)
End Sub
Protected Sub Draw(ByVal g As Graphics)
DrawBackground(g)
DrawText(g)
End Sub
Protected Sub DrawBackground(ByVal g As Graphics)
If Focused Then
DrawTextboxState(g, iaDefault)
Else
DrawTextboxState(g, iaNormal)
End If
End Sub
Protected Sub DrawTextboxState(ByVal g As Graphics, ByVal ia As ImageAttributes)
Dim tb As New TextureBrush(imgFill, New Rectangle(0, 0, imgFill.Width, imgFill.Height), ia)
tb.WrapMode = WrapMode.Tile
g.FillRectangle(tb, 0, 0, Me.Width, Me.Height)
tb.Dispose()
End Sub
Protected Sub DrawText(ByVal g As Graphics)
Dim layoutrect As New RectangleF(0, 0, Me.Width, Me.Height)
Dim fmt As New StringFormat
fmt.Alignment = StringAlignment.Near
fmt.LineAlignment = StringAlignment.Near
Dim textBrush As New SolidBrush(ForeColor)
g.DrawString(Text, Font, textBrush, layoutrect, fmt)
textBrush.Dispose()
End Sub

Positioning A Control At Caret Position In A Reach Text Box - Mdi App - Help...
Hi all,
I need help with positioning a list box in a rich text box at the caret position.
The text box is in a from which is a member of an mdi form app.
In order to position the list box at the caret position, at first, I just used the GetCaretPos func and used the caret
Position strait to the list box top and left - but it didn't appear at the caret position - at all!
So, as someone suggested here, I transferred the caret position with ClienToScreen func to General screen coordinates, and tried to use these coordinates on the list box but still - the list box position will shift progrecively as the carets position will shift.
Can someone please give me some more detailed pointers to what I might be doing wrong - or that I didn't thougth of?…
Code samples will be appreciated - even very simplified…
Here is what I did - schematically…
Thanks In advance...
Dim Caretpos as POINTAPI
Dim Pos&
Pos = GetCaretPos form.whnd, Caretpos
ClientTosCreen Caretpos
List1.left = Caretpos.x
List1.top = Caretpos.y
