Trapping Mouse Movements in Picture Box

Tech Tip: Click here to run a free scan for Windows Errors and optimize PC performance

Hello All,

I am working on a VB6 app used to draw some engineering diagrams. The
app uses the picturebox heavily. My client wants to be able to move the
lines drawn in the picturebox using the mouse. For this I need to be
able to convert the line coordinates inside the picture box to the
corresponding screen coordinates and the use some kind of a HitTest to
verify the coordinates and move the redraw the line. Does anybody have
any idea on how to simulate mouse clicks inside a picture box and
convert them to screen coordinates?

Thanks in advance,
Chris
