[2008] - ProgressBar Click Position

[The Little Guy]

How can I find the click position of the mouse inside a progressbar?

so basically the left side of the progressbar = 0 and the right side = 100

any way of how I can do this?

Is it your intention to set the Value of the ProgressBar based on where the user clicks? If so then you should be using a TrackBar, not a ProgressBar.

I want to show the progress of an audio file playing, which works. I then want to allow the user to be able to click on a certain area of the progressbar, then be taken to that position of the audio file.

You could handle the MouseClick event, which does provide location information, but you should be using a TrackBar, which is built for this purpose.

Personally i'd code my own control for something like that, as I assume you are wanting the progress bar for its neat appearance. just use a picturebox, draw to it yourself, if progressbar doesn't tell you location upon click(which it probably does, if not on click, it should on mousedown), i can assure you that picturebox definitely does...

[The Little Guy]

so how would I do a pictureBox progressbar?

Got here via google trying to figure out how to do this, but I got it working in a minute anyways. So, I suppose I'll post the code up for anyone else that ends up here through google and such.

Private Sub prgsbar_MouseDown(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.Windows.Forms.MouseEventArgs) Handles prgsbar.MouseDown
      prgsbar.Value = CInt((e.Location.X / prgsbar.Size.Width) * 100)
End Sub
