Screen and Picturebox X, Y relationship - Need Help

[jmsrickland]

I have a Picturebox (ScaleMode = vbPixels) on a Form (ScaleMode = vbPixels) and at location 198, 207 in the Picturebox there is a dot. How do I figure this location to the screen's location? Also, how to figure screen coordinates to the picturebox coordinate of 198, 207?

this website since the update is slow and stop responding!!! what the **** is wrong? anyways back to your question


i'm not exactly sure what you are asking but have a look at this

Private XX As Single
Private YY As Single

Private Sub Command1_Click()

Picture1.DrawWidth = 2
Picture1.Line (198, 207)-(198, 207), vbBlack

Screen.MousePointer = vbHourglass
For XX = 1 To Screen.Width
For YY = 1 To Screen.Height
DoEvents
If Picture1.Point(XX, YY) = vbBlack Then
MsgBox XX & " - " & YY
Screen.MousePointer = vbDefault
Exit Sub
End If
Next YY
Next XX
End Sub

Private Sub Command2_Click()
Dim ScreenX As Single
Dim ScreenY As Single

Picture1.BorderStyle = 0

ScreenX = Form1.Left / Screen.TwipsPerPixelX + Picture1.Left + XX
ScreenY = Form1.Top / Screen.TwipsPerPixelY + Picture1.Top + YY

MsgBox "Dot is Placed at." & vbNewLine & "ScreenX (Pixels): " & ScreenX & vbNewLine & "ScreenY (Pixels): " & ScreenY

Picture2.Move ScreenX - (Form1.Left / Screen.TwipsPerPixelX), ScreenY - (Form1.Top / Screen.TwipsPerPixelY), 1, 1
End Sub

click command1 to get coords from picturebox's black dot (takes a couple seconds)
click command2 to get coords from screens then use it to move picture2 position on top on picture1's dot position (to see if coords are right)
