Detecting where the mouse is and changing its position from time to time

[rino_2]

Hi,

Sure, I know how to detect where the mouse is when its over one of my forms, but how do I detect where it is when its just on the desktop or something? After detecting the position of the mouse, I would also like to move its position. Does anybody have any ideas?

Thanks

you can use GetCursorPos to detect the position and SetCursorPos to change it.
both are winapis.
Public Declare Function GetCursorPos Lib "user32" Alias "GetCursorPos" (lpPoint As POINTAPI) As Long
Public Declare Function SetCursorPos Lib "user32" Alias "SetCursorPos" (ByVal x As Long, ByVal y As Long) As Long
Public Type POINTAPI
x As Long
y As Long
End Type
