cursor-position

I've found many articles on how to set the mouse position in a C# windows forms project - I want to do this in a console application. How can I set the absolute mouse position from a C# windows console application? Thanks! Hint: it's not Console.setCursorPosition, that only sets the position of the text cursor in the console. Inside your console application, add a reference to System.Windows.Forms.dll and use the other techniques you've read about. The choice of console vs windows exe only impacts the PE header (and maybe the default code template, but you can hack that trivially); you can

I am working on an application which draws a simple dot grid. I would like the mouse to snap between the points on the grid, eventually to draw lines on the grid. I have a method which takes in the current mouse location (X,Y) and calculates the nearest grid coordinate. When I create an event and attempt to move the mouse to the new coordinate the whole system becomes jerky. The mouse doesn't snap smoothly between grid points. I have copied a code sample below to illustrate what I am attempting to do. Does anyone have any advice they could offer me as to how I can eliminate the jumpiness

I have activities that are stored in a graph database. Multiple activities are grouped and aggregated into 1 activity in some circumstances. A processed activity feed could look like this: Activity 1 Activity 2 Grouped Activity Activity 3 Activity 4 Activity 5 Activities have an updated timestamp and a unique id. The activities are ordered by their updated time and in the case of a grouped activity, the most recent updated time within its child activities is used. Activities can be inserted anywhere in the list (for example, if we start following someone, their past activities would be

I have a console application which should paint a random picture in MSPaint (mouse down -> let the cursor randomly paint something -> mouse up. This is what I have so far (I added comments to the Main method for better understanding what I want to achieve): [DllImport("user32.dll", CallingConvention = CallingConvention.StdCall)] public static extern void mouse_event(long dwFlags, uint dx, uint dy, long cButtons, long dwExtraInfo); private const int MOUSEEVENTF_LEFTDOWN = 0x201; private const int MOUSEEVENTF_LEFTUP = 0x202; private const uint MK_LBUTTON = 0x0001; public delegate bool

I am trying to implement Autocomplete in a text area (similar to http://www.pengoworks.com/workshop/jquery/autocomplete.htm ). What I am trying to do is when a user enters a specific set of characters (say insert:) they will get an AJAX filled div with possible selectable matches. In a regular text box, this is of course simple, but in a text area I need to be able to popup the div in the correct location on the screen based on the cursor. Can anyone provide any direction? Thanks, -M You can get the caret using document.selection.createRange(), and then examining it to reveal all the

Is it just me, or do other people find that the left and right arrow keys on MacOS are unusually slow for editing text? Compared to my Windows machines, positioning the cursor with left/right arrow keys seems to take twice as long on the Mac. The up/down arrows seem to be speedy enough, but left/right arrows just crawl. I notice it the most in Terminal, editing recently used commands, and I'm noticing it right now while text in a browser form. Is there a Mac preference I can set to speed up the response to these keys? Vadim To change how fast a key repeats when holding it down , adjust this
