You can get the cursor position ON YOUR FORM using something like:

Dim cursorPosition As Point = Me.PointToClient(System.Windows.Forms.Cursor.Position)

Put this code in your form's key handler code and it'll give you the coordinates of the mouse on the form, not the entire screen.

thanks, That is Useful but I need the textbox2(small box) to come beside the mouse cursor(not the pointer) when I'm inside textbox1(big and multilined).
I didn't want a code for the entire screen.(my mistake);)

Pls reply still urgent.

Executing VBS from a vb.net program

To preface, I have only taken on VB.net course and principles to programing, so I am a newbe to all of this.

To the question. I have stated creating a program that will allow me to centrally administer all of the workstations on the network...(ie. WOL, Reboot, Shutdown, execute *.vbs....)
I have figured out how to open the excel with all of the data needed, but how can I now select the data from the cell(say MACAddr) and execute a *.vbs on it.

If CompName_selected
then read excel and find CompName_selected MACAddr
execute command (ie "shutdown /t" or "*.vbs")
loop until all CompName_selected complete.
end

Any help would be greatly appreciated Smile | :)

You would use the Process[^] class for this. Usually, something like this:

Dim newProc As Process = Process.Start("shutdown /t")

Dim newProc As Process = Process.Start("myscript.vbs")

days = (DateTime.Now - anyDate).Days;

If you substract one DateTime object (NOT string) from another DateTime object you get a TimeSpan object. TimeSpan has the property Days which appears to be what you want.

Sir/Madam,
I have two records in my database.From the form , I am chosing the id and want that record to get displayed in the crystal report.There are two tables in the database and there is a primary and foreign key relationship between them.Now the problem is , both the records are comming.I have created links between both tables in the reports.Is there any way to create the crystal report dynalically or can i pass the parameter to show the report.
Parameter means that id which has primary and foreign key relationship.
But I don't know the code how to pass the parameters.
and parameters should be passed at both ends (I mean in the crystal reports as well as on the coding side)??
I don't want to generate the window that ask me which id u want to select .
Please help.
Thanks and regards
Pankaj

I am working at VU meter at the moment. That is, grabbing the microphone volume and show it in progress bar. Should I use winmm.dll for it in vb.net? I understand that I am able to use this module to get output volume but how I should get input volume?

Thanks in advance.

You haven't explained the proplem clearly actually.

First Why do you have problems in selecting an item from a listbox? What is the propblem?

Second, each button suppose to have different names inside a form class. Why do they have same names?

Are you kidding with us or what? Your zip file has an html file. This is a vb.net forum. You should post this under web development.

The text.htm doesn't have the function under scripts. There is no script block and no functions.

You'll have to write that code under Mono, or the Linux's world version of the .NET Framework.

On Windows Vista, Process.Start() generates Win32Exception.

Sample Code:

<br />
Dim selfProc As String = System.Windows.Forms.Application.ExecutablePath<br />
System.Diagnostics.Process.Start(Chr(34) & selfProc & Chr(34))  <br />

The generated Exception:

.Net Remoting mystery

shreekar28-Feb-07 22:54

28-Feb-07 22:54

Hi

I have been reading up on .Net Remoting for some past days. What I understood was:
1. Create a remotable object.
2. Create a listener referencing that remotable object.
3. Create a client referencing that remotable object.
4. Use config files to indicate where the object resides.
5. Start the listener.
5. Start the client.

To make sure that I was using the server's version of the Remote object, I maintained the interface, but the changed the implementation.
The problem is, it still shows the implementation from the client!

I am using http as the channel, port no=8888
deployed the client exe on a remote machine and gave my machine's url as the remote object location.

What am I doing wrong?
