I need to get the co-ordinates of some parts of a photo using the mouse and a text box, so that when the user clicks on an certain part of the photo, another form loads up that has information about that individual item. Can anyone help me do this as i've done it before but cannot remember how I did it?
Thanks in advance!

Hello brjames,
I've had the very same problem to solve, except it was for setting the location on an item via a mouse click on the picbox. I looked for the app that I wrote this for but to no avail. I can only tell you what I remember doing to make this happen.
If you look at the help file for the picbox you will see that you can set the pic1.ScaleTop, pic1.ScaleHeight, pic1.ScaleWidth and pic1.ScaleLeft. This is very important to this operation. You will need to get the coordinates for each corner of your map, once you have this then you can assign the coordinates in radiants to the 4 pic1.Scale... properties. You can then use the pic1.X and pic1.Y values convert them to deg. min. sec and then display them in the textbox.
Hope this helps a little,
Roger

You can download Microsoft's DirectX 7 DSK or can get it from CHIP computer magazine's few month's back cd if you are from US or India. I don't know wheteher it is available in other countries also.
They have given a very nice tutorial of displaying mouse co-ordinates.
