How to get values from event handler like in VB6?

[redss]

in VS.NET, how do I find the coordinates of a mousedown event?

 

in VB6, it was provided by the event handler, like so:

Private Sub Label1_MouseDown(Button As Integer, Shift As Integer, X As Single, Y As Single)

 

But in .NET (C# or VB) I don't know how to find out the coords with the event handler:

	private void label1_MouseDown(object sender, System.Windows.Forms.MouseEventArgs e)

You can do something like this...

 

   Private Structure POINTAPI
       Dim X As Integer
       Dim Y As Integer
   End Structure

'place the following in the MouseMove event...
Dim p As POINTAPI

p.X 'this is your X position
p.Y 'this is your Y position

You could use the Cursor class from the Windows.Form namespace, as the event handler doesnt provide the coordinates. The Position property will return a point for you. Then you decide if you want to count where it is on the whole screen or relatively to a control, using the PointToClient method for the latter.

[Edit]I made an error, I looked at the wrong event :eek: [/edit]

The second argument (e) contains this information.

e.X is the X co-ord e.Y is the Y co-ord.

Ah, I looked at the wrong event. Thanks for the correction PlausiblyDamp.

Oh man that's true, I forgot about the e arg. D'oh!
