get mouse location

[Syntax]

I need to get the mouse possision into 2 integers

is there an easy way to get this code done?

 

i've been searching the net for like 8 hours and only found from VB 6

but that metod is not supported in VB .NET

 

Hope someone can help me with this probobly simple problem.

The mouse_move, mouse_up and mouse_down all contain the x, y co-ordinates as part of the arguments.

e.X, e.Y respectively.

 

Or are you looking for the position in some other way?

[Syntax]

i'm making a drawing program so i need

to draw a line with mousedown cordinates to mouseup cordinates.

[PlausiblyDamp]

Do you have any working code so far?

Just handle the mouse move events and store the position from the X and Y properties of MouseEventArgs. Get the stored values in your Paint event and do the drawing there.

 

Simple.

[Syntax]

sorry if i have no clue on what your talking about..

i'm going a visual basic course at school and i'm trying to learn graphics while they others still do if then else

 

 

the code i got so far is to draw a line.

 

Protected Overrides Sub OnPaint(ByVal e As System.Windows.Forms.PaintEventArgs)
      


       Dim g As Graphics = e.Graphics
       Dim pn As New Pen(Color.Black, 3)
       Dim xval As Integer
       Dim yval As Integer
       Dim pt1 As Point = New Point(30, 30)
       Dim pt2 As Point = New Point(110, 100)

      
       g.DrawLine(pn, pt1, pt2)
   End Sub

here, I did my own GDI+ Drag-and-drop system for a card game:

 

   Dim LastMousePos as New Point(0, 0)
   Dim CurrMousePos as New Point(0, 0)

   Private Sub pbx_MouseDown(Byval sender as object, byval e as MouseEventArgs) Handles pbx.MouseDown
       LastMousePos.X = CurrMousePos.X
       LastMousePos.Y = CurrMousePos.Y
       CurrMousePos.X = e.X
       CurrMousePos.Y = e.Y
   End Sub

Protected Overrides Sub OnPaint(ByVal e As System.Windows.Forms.PaintEventArgs)
       Dim g As Graphics = e.Graphics
       Dim pn As New Pen(Color.Black, 3)
      
       g.DrawLine(pn, LastMousePos, CurrMousePos)
   End Sub

 

It's late here, I hope this works.

You can always use Cursor.Position.X and Cursor.Position.Y if you don't feel like using events.

[Syntax]

as usual i don't know how to do it..

i need

1 function to draw the line

and i need mousedown to call that function but i have no idea on how to code it..

if anyone can give me the code or would like to help me realtime throu icq or anything please post here.

Since you're going to a VB.NET class, why not ask your teacher? It's easier to show someone how to do something than it is to explain it over the internet.

[Syntax]

well the teacher won't show me when i'm home..

also i just need the to know how to call the function..

but i just don't know how to

it's always something that's not working.

       LastMousePos.X = CurrMousePos.X
       LastMousePos.Y = CurrMousePos.Y
       CurrMousePos.X = e.X
       CurrMousePos.Y = e.Y
   End Sub

       Dim g As Graphics = e.Graphics
       Dim pn As New Pen(Color.Black, 3)
      
       g.DrawLine(pn, LastMousePos, CurrMousePos)
   End Sub

Nope didn't work i must call the draw line function from within the mousedown event.

 

but i wouldn't know hopw to do that.

[Syntax]

Okay i solved it myself.

 

now i'm trying to figure out how to clear the picturebox.

 

any ideas?
