[Request] I'd like to ask someone to help me with a point in the screen

Hello people, i'm new here in VBForums, I dont know if its the right place to place a request, if dont, please move it.
Lets go to the problem:
I have a point in the screen that i want to be the same as the resolution changes. I'll explain better. Look out the example

Example:

HTML Code:

---

        Dim point As New Point
        Dim point1 As New Point
        Dim x As Integer, y As Integer
        Dim amaisx As Integer = 0
        Dim amaisy As Integer = 0

        point = Cursor.Position
        point1 = Screen.PrimaryScreen.Bounds.Size

 If point1.X <> 1280 Or point1.Y <> 800 Then
            amaisx = (1280 - point1.X) * -1
            amaisy = (800 - point1.Y) * -1
End If

        x = point1.X - (point1.X - 120 + amaisx) '120 is the x cordenate of the position I want, and the same for y.
        y = point1.Y - (point1.Y - 540 + amaisy)

SetCursorPos(x, y)

---

Here I'm trying to get the diference between my own resolution(1280x800[its a notebooks resolution]) and the point in this resolution that i want the mouse to be is 120,540.
But when I change the screen size it doesnt work of corse.
Are there anyone that can help me with it?

And sorry if my english isnt the best u have ever seen.

Oh, it's not bad.

What I would do would be to go about the problem in a different fashion. First off, you want a position of X= 120, Y = 540 when the screen resolution is 1280x800.

Therefore, the X point is 120/1280 of the screen, and the Y point is 540/800 of the screen:

Code:

---

Dim xRatio = 120/1280
Dim yRatio = 540/800

---

Naturally, you could calculate those out, as they are not really variable, but might as well leave it like this for clarity.

Now, these ratios should be true for any screen resolution. Therefore:

Code:

---

Dim newX = point1.X * xRatio
Dim newY = point1.Y * yRatio

---

Should work for any reasonable resolution, though it could get off a bit if the resolution dropped to something impossibly small. Notice that this will also work for 1280x800, because, if you put those values into the second set of code for point1.X and point1.Y, your newX will be 120, and your newY will be 540, which is just as they should be.

Shaggy, thanks for the help, now my program is running great.
Thank you man.
