Screen Coordinates [Solved]

[Malkavian]

Is there code in VB to be able to find screen cootdinates? Or does anyone know a way to find them.

I want VB to place the mouse at a certain point on the screen but have no idea where the coords are or how to find them.


Thanks!

I'm not quite shure what you want, the GetCursorPos API function can get the position of the cursor on the screen.

Can you define what it is you want to do more clearily?

If you are talking bout just your form, be sure your Scalemode = 3 - Pixels

to get the cursor position on the screen use this

Option Explicit
Private Declare Function GetCursorPos Lib "user32" (lpPoint As POINTAPI) As Long
 
Private Type POINTAPI
x As Long
y As Long
End Type
 
Private Sub Timer1_Timer()
Dim POS As Long
Dim Cursor As POINTAPI
POS = GetCursorPos(Cursor)
Label1.Caption = "X = " & Cursor.x & "    " & "Y = " & Cursor.y
End Sub
