    Current X and Y Coordinates...

    I know this is easy, but I forgotten how to find the X, Y coordinates of the mouse on a form. I thought it was CurrentX, CurrentY... but that doesn't seem to be the case. I have a third party control on my form and I need to know where the user has clicked to know which event to fire... but first I need the mouse coordinates in twips... ScaleMode on the form is set to twips.

    Thanks in advanced

    Well

    VB Code:
    1. Private Sub Form_MouseMove(Button As Integer, Shift As Integer, X As Single, Y As Single)

    2.  
    3.     Me.Label1.Caption = X & ", " & Y

    4.  
    5. End Sub
    Remaining quiet down here !!!

    BRAD HAS GIVEN ME THE ULTIMATIVE. I have chosen to stay....

    Better is to use the ScreenToClient API.

    The 1st parameter is the hWnd property of the Form.
    The 2nd parameter is a POINTAPI structure that contains the screen coordinates and after the call it will contain the client's calculated coordinates. (all in pixels)
