Mouse/Screen Image StatusIs it possible to determine if the image under a mouse changes in VB.net
code? For example if I position the mouse using the command; Windows.Forms.Cursor.Position = New System.Drawing.Point(680, 595) Is there code that would help me determine if the image under it has changed? On Mon, 19 Jun 2006 18:00:11 -0700, "Daniel N"

It's the same image, but has been modified? Gene Well, when I position the mouse in a certian area, eventually a new image
will replace what was there. I wanted to tell my program exactly when that happened.

You might be able to adapt something like this: Private CursorInBox as Boolean Private Sub PictureBox1_MouseEnter(ByVal sender As Object, _ ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles PictureBox1.MouseEnter CursorInBox = True End Sub Private Sub PictureBox1_MouseLeave(ByVal sender As Object, _ ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles PictureBox1.MouseEnter CursorInBox = False End Sub Private Sub PictureBox1_Invalidated(ByVal sender As Object, _ ByVal e As System.Windows.Forms.InvalidateEventArgs) Handles _ PictureBox1.Invalidated If CursorInBox Then MsgBox("Picture changed") End If End Sub Gene Show quoteHide quote >"gene kelley" <o***@by.me> wrote in message >news:aqee92t6obtbnmgeb68j7k0bdj72lv7rfv@4ax.com... >> On Mon, 19 Jun 2006 18:00:11 -0700, "Daniel N" >> <saintdark_***@yahoo.com> wrote: >> >>>Is it possible to determine if the image under a mouse changes in VB.net >>>code?

What is supoosed to happen when the image does change? Gene Essentially, I am playing a game using in an application. I am trying to
make a program that would automate me playing. When a clock appears in a certain portion of the App, it is my turn to make a decision. That clock appearing is the only way to tell my program when to automate a decision. My plan was to move the cursor above where the clock appears, then where it does, have my program automate the decision. On Tue, 20 Jun 2006 19:16:04 -0700, "Daniel N"
