Hi

Question

 

please let me know how to get the keyboard cursor position in c#.net????

 

I want to give a feature like when the user enter data ;i want to create a popup window underneath the position where the last key has been typed.

 

Using the cursor class in .NET i get only the mouse cursors x and y posistions,but not the current keyboard focus posistion.

 

Is there any way to retrive the keyboard blink cursor pos?

 

Thanks

Hi,

 

As i have already mentioned the Cursor.posistion.X gives the mouse cursor,not the current control with focus.

I have used the following code to test this.

 

private void timer1_Tick(object sender, EventArgs e)

{

Console.WriteLine(Cursor.Position.X);

Console.WriteLine(Cursor.Position.Y);

}

i have 20 textboxes in my Form1 ,but when i move from one textbox to another ,i am unable to get current focused controls posistion.

 

Any Help??

Then get the X and Y of the control that has focus:

 

Code Snippet

foreach (Control c in this.Controls)

{

if (c.Focused)

{

MessageBox.Show(c.Top + " " + c.Left);

}

}
