VB.NET Syntax (Toggle Plain Text)
  Private Sub Form1_MouseMove(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.Windows.Forms.MouseEventArgs) Handles MyBase.MouseMove
 
        Label1.Text = "X." & e.X & vbCrLf & "Y." & e.Y
 
    End Sub
  Private Sub Form1_MouseMove(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.Windows.Forms.MouseEventArgs) Handles MyBase.MouseMove

        Label1.Text = "X." & e.X & vbCrLf & "Y." & e.Y
        
    End Sub

Re: How can I get Mouse Position?

I have not been using VB for very long but this is how I have been getting the mouse postion on the screen.

VB.NET Syntax (Toggle Plain Text)
 Dim MousePosition As Point
        MousePosition = Cursor.Position
 Dim MousePosition As Point
        MousePosition = Cursor.Position

I hope this helps

Re: How can I get Mouse Position?

I know this thread is old, but I'm confused as to why so many people think this impossible, at least without using an API.

blondie.simon was on the right tracks.

Here's how:

VB.NET Syntax (Toggle Plain Text)
dim mousePos as point = me.mouseposition
 
dim mousePosX as integer = form1.mouseposition.x
dim mousePosY as integer = form1.mouseposition.y
dim mousePos as point = me.mouseposition

dim mousePosX as integer = form1.mouseposition.x
dim mousePosY as integer = form1.mouseposition.y

Simples see!

And to capture the location when the mouse is moving:

VB.NET Syntax (Toggle Plain Text)
Private Sub mouseMove_Capture(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.Windows.Forms.MouseEventArgs) Handles _ 
MyBase.MouseMove
        Dim mousePos As point= Me.MousePosition
End Sub
Private Sub mouseMove_Capture(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.Windows.Forms.MouseEventArgs) Handles _ 
MyBase.MouseMove
        Dim mousePos As point= Me.MousePosition
End Sub

Note, that the above only functions when the mouse is not over any other form object, but the form itself. It is possible to only capture the mouse movement within a single object too, like a label or picture box for example.
