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,
Hunter
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
Row Position, Column Position Of Cursor In RichTextBox
I am trying to create a text editor with some enhanced specific features for my application. One of these features which is a MUST is that I need to know which row and column my cursor is on at any given time. Therefore if I use the arrow keys, or click on the RichText Box, I can update the statusbar to tell me which line number (row) and character position within the line I am on.
I am not totally sold on using the rich text box, but the files can be somewhat large, and I need the text to be editable.
Cursor Position
I was making playing around with making screensavers (the best way to learn to program). I was trying to make a trail of shapes behind the mouse(the screensaver will only close with the KeyDown and Click event), but I have a small problem, I don't know how to get the shapes to make a trail. I know how to use the MoveMouse event to get the x and y coordinates of the mouse inside the form, and making one shape stay with the mouse. Does anyone know how I can do this?
I need a way to store the previous locations of the mouse, but if I use a timer, it looks jerky?
Position The Cursor?
I have a piece of code that runs on LostFocus() - but thats neither here nor there.
When I tab out, if the value is a duplicate - a message box appears telling the user, the text box is wiped clean, however the cursor moves on to the next text box (as is his want)
Can I tell the cursor to go back to the other TextBox

Cursor Position
I need to find the middle of a picture box and set the cursor in the middle of it when the user click's a previous picturebox.
Basically the user clicks the next arrow(picture box) and the next tab on a tabstrip is displayed. The catch is the new tab's height shortens considerably therefore the next arrow(picture box) on the new tab is higher up the screen than the last.
I wish to place the cursor on this new picture box......
I have been through the "getCursorPos & setCursorPos" with no success.
Can anyone help?
Regards Dazza.

Cursor Position Et. Al.
Hello all, just realized this is the first post I've posted in a few months. But I digress.
I have several problems.
1) I need to set the cursor position to a specific spot in a text box and I haven't figured out how to do that yet. Any help would be appreciated.
2) Is there a way to save an html file from a rich text box without the html code shown on the page? (i.e. I have saved a richtext box as an html file and I couldn't get the html code itself to save)
Edit:
I figured out the third one...
Thanks in advance,

frmmaz2.Visible = True
frmmaz2.Caption = a
frmmaz2.Text1.Text = "UNO Mat init-z" + vbCrLf + " 0"
End Sub
After running the sub, the cursor goes back to the left of the "UNO". I need it under the "Mat" to accept user input and then tab under the "Init-z". How do I do this?

Cursor Position
I have a web browser control set up on my form and navigate to a web site. There is a text box on the web site I am viewing which was created with a template, therefore has no ID, TagNames, etc. I need to put some text in this text box. When the web site loads, the cursor is blinking in this text box. How do I get the location of the cursor? My thought process was to use the IHMTLTxtRange to create the text range on this text box and fill it in using the PasteHTML method. But I need to know the cursor location, so I can create my text range. Does anybody know how to obtain the cursor location after the web site loads?
Thanks.

Setting Cursor Position
Hey all. Semi-noob here to VB. I've searched the forums for this problem and nothing came up. I can't be the first person who's wanted to do this, surely?
Anyway - I want to make the cursor hop around the screen and click in certain locations.
Essentially - you press a button and the cursor hops to a specified location and clicks it.
First off - is this possible? If so, how? Can I make the cursor go anywhere or must it stay within the form?
Thanks in advance.
SendKeys + Cursor Position
I am using sendkeys to automatically type in and account number into a textbox in a terminal application. Works fine if the cursor is already positioned in the textbox, but if it isn't then i get an error.
Does anyone know how to check if the cursor is already on the textbox and if not than automatically place the cursor in the textbox before doing a sendkey?
Get Word's Cursor Position
Hi,
I have a form that opens on top of a doc so the user can perform a search. The form is rather minimal, but it still gets in the way sometimes and covers the search hit (selected text in the doc).
I want the form to move out of the user's view. Since the search hit is selected, I could use the insertion point's position on the screen as reference, but I don't know how to do that in VBA or using an API call.
Any help would be highly appreciated.

Guillermo
Combo Box Cursor Position
I have a combo box whose list is filled with numbers that are populated at run time. The combo box is set to 'Sorted' with a style of '2 - Dropdown List'. The combo box data looks up a value in an array and fills in a text box with the value.
If I have an item in the list with the value '1234' and I type '1234', the text in the box changes and all works well. However, if I type '12' but then pause before typing the '34', the cursor seems to reset back to the beginning of the combo box and things fall apart.
Does anyone have an idea what's going on, and how to fix it so that the user doesn't have to start over if they pause while typing in the combo box?

This is probably something really simple but I have 4 textboxes and have the cursor's focus on the first textbox. Except when I click tab it doesn't go to the next texbox...that is the cursor does not appear in the right order, it goes all over the place. How can I get it to go to the next textbox each time tab is pressed?
thanks

Mouse Cursor Position
How to get the position (X and Y) of the mouse pointer of an object (label for example)???
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

Cursor Position API Not Working
When I move my mouse around the screen, it does great, everything is fine... except when I move it in the taskbar...
I need to get the position of the mouse when it's in the system tray... the only problem is... once it even enters the taskbar, it stop obtaining the mouse position...
So, I could point it over the start button, drag it over the system tray, and still have values at the far left of my screen... Not good.
Here's the code I'm using to get the X and Y of the cursor, just the standard code from All API:
Code:
Private Type POINTAPI
X As Long
Y As Long
End Type
Private Declare Function SetCapture Lib "user32" (ByVal hwnd As Long) As Long
Private Declare Function ReleaseCapture Lib "user32" () As Long
Private Declare Function GetCursorPos Lib "user32" (lpPoint As POINTAPI) As Long
Dim Pt As POINTAPI
Private Sub Form_Load()
'KPD-Team 1999
'URL: [url]http://www.allapi.net/[/url]
'E-Mail: [email]KPDTeam@Allapi.net[/email]
'redirect all mouse input to this form
SetCapture Me.hwnd
End Sub
Private Sub Form_MouseDown(Button As Integer, Shift As Integer, X As Single, Y As Single)
ReleaseCapture
SetCapture Me.hwnd
End Sub
Private Sub Form_MouseMove(Button As Integer, Shift As Integer, X As Single, Y As Single)
'Get the current cursor position
GetCursorPos Pt
Me.CurrentX = 0
Me.CurrentY = 0
'Clear the screen
Me.Cls
Me.Print "Cursor position:"
'Print the mouse coördinates to the form
Me.Print "X:" + Str$(Pt.X) + " Y:" + Str$(Pt.Y)
Me.Print " (Press ALT-F4 to unload this form)"
SetCapture Me.hwnd
End Sub
Private Sub Form_MouseUp(Button As Integer, Shift As Integer, X As Single, Y As Single)
ReleaseCapture
SetCapture Me.hwnd
End Sub
Anyone know how to make it read past the taskbar?
If this isn't possible, is there any way to obtain the position of a NotifyIcon when you click on it? If so, this would probably be easier...
Thanks!

Cursor Position In Textbox Vs RTB

But I don't know if notepad just uses textbox and I want my notpad (name of my app >_<) to be as faithful as the orig.

Cursor Position - **RESOLVED**
This is driving me nuts - I can not get X to equal NX or Y to equal NY. It all looks right to me, however I am just spinning my wheels now - just paste this in a form and run:
VB Code:
