mouse-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 have a multi-line text box that displays some values based on data it gets given, (Generally one value per line). (For the purpose of having a tool tip popup with some 'alternative' data) I would like to get the word (or at the very least the line) that the mouse is hovering over so I can then find what alternative to display. I have a few ideas of how to do this with calculations based on the text box and font sizes but I do not what to go down this road as the sizes and fonts may change frequently. So... Is there any way of using the mouses position to grab specific text box text? Here's

I have been trying to take the logic of a couple simple MooTools operations and convert it to work with jQuery. The logic I want is for this jsfiddle what it allows is to get accurate mouse position on a canvas element with css resizing. I found the answer here on SO I have been working for a couple hours with no avail I think I understand his logic but fitting for some reason I am not seeing results Here is what I have done so far with arby's logic from his answer commented out // Get the change ratio for the new css set size //var cssScale = [canvas.getSize().x / canvas.get('width'), canvas

Is there any way to get mouse position relative to it's parent element? Let's say I have a structure: <div id="parent"> <span class="dot"></span> </div> When I bring my mouse over span element I need to get its position relative to its parent element ( <div id="parent"> ). PageX/ClientX give me position relative to page/client area, so it's not working for me. Matti Virkkunen Subtract the position of the parent element (offsetLeft; offsetTop) from the mouse position (pageX; pageY) to get relative position. Remember to take offsetParent into account if you have multiple levels of offsets. For

I want to get the mouse position with respect to the control in which mouse pointer is present. That means when I place the cursor to the starting point (Top-Left corner) of control it should give (0,0). I am using the following code: private void panel1_MouseMove(object sender, MouseEventArgs e) { this.Text = Convert.ToString(Cursor.Position.X + ":" + Cursor.Position.Y); } But this gives the position with respect to the screen not to the control. Code sample will be appreciated. You can directly use the Location property of the MouseEventArgs argument passed to your event-handler. private

I have a project in WPF 4 and vb.net 2010. I have a canvas inside a window. The window is full screen, but the canvas is set to a solid 640x480 in the center of the window. I need to get the mouse position inside of the canvas, but NOT inside of the window. How do I do this? Doesn't this work? Point p = Mouse.GetPosition(canvas); The position of the mouse pointer is calculated relative to the specified element with the upper-left corner of element being the point of origin, Phillip Hi the important thing is the NOT on the Window the canvas is part of the window as well. one example: the Window

I have a link that, when clicked, I would like it to move the position of the mouse to the right (or anywhere within the viewport, for that matter). in code it would probably look similar to the following: $('a#expand').click(function(e){ $(document) .mouseXPos(e.pageX + 50) .mouseYPos(e.pageY + 50); }); Chaining might not be necessary, of course, but a similar 'set mouse position' functionality is what I am after. I've seen solutions to move the cursor position to a certain spot in the text, but I didn't glean much from them. There is no mechanism for moving the mouse via JavaScript. I may be
