I am attempting to set the position of the mouse to set coords in another window. I have been able to set the position by using SetCursorPos but for some reason I cannot get it to set the position in the other window. I am pretty sure I need to set the window by using the ClietToScreen() yet I am not able to get it to work. I am using the following code
Code:Private Declare Function ClientToScreen Lib "user32" (ByVal hwnd As IntPtr, _ ByVal lpPoint As POINTAPI) As Integer Private Declare Function SetCursorPos Lib "user32" (ByVal x As Integer, _ ByVal y As Integer) As Integer Private Structure POINTAPI Dim X As Long Dim Y As Long End StructureI have also tried varriations of this:Code:Dim pt As POINTAPI pt.X = txtX.Text pt.Y = txtY.Text ClientToScreen(myHandle, pt) SetCursorPos(pt.X, pt.Y)
Code:Dim pt As POINTAPI ClientToScreen(myHandle, pt) pt.X = pt.X + txtX.Text pt.Y = pt.Y + txtY.Text SetCursorPos(pt.X, pt.Y)
I have the correct handle for the window (tried both as Integer and IntPtr) when I try the program with out the ClientToScreen function the mouse is moved to the coords based on my desktop, not on the window whos handle I pass. If I use the Integer or IntPtr it erros out with (Additional information: Object reference not set to an instance of an object)
Any help would be appreciated,
Patrick
