VB.NET - How to move the mouse in a specific range in the panel

Visual Basic.Net

Hello everyone.

In this photo , there is a panel.

What I want to do is moving the mouse in specific range in the panel.

When the mouse will be in the panel , I want the mouse to move in specific range.

What I mean by specific range ?

I mean by that , Moving the mouse in X Axis from 95 to 493.

And moving the mouse in Y Axis start from 30.5.

and this specific range in the panel.

How can I do this ?

I don't think you can do it using a PointF (coordinates that use decimal values) but here's a solution that works with using a Point (coordinates that use integer values):

Code:

---

Public Class Form1

    Private ReadOnly _random As New Random()

    Private Function GetRelativeLocation(childControl As Control, location As Point) As Point
        Dim screenX = childControl.PointToScreen(location).X
        Dim screenY = childControl.PointToScreen(location).Y

        Return New Point(screenX, screenY)
    End Function

    Private Sub Button1_Click(sender As Object, e As EventArgs) Handles Button1.Click
        Dim x = _random.Next(95, 493 + 1)
        Dim y = 30
        Dim cursorLocation = GetRelativeLocation(Panel1, New Point(x, y))
        Cursor.Position = cursorLocation
    End Sub

End Class

All I did was add a button to the form to trigger moving the cursor since you didn't specify what the trigger is.

You can specify a restrictive bounding rectangle with cursor.clip
