I'm making a maze game for part of my college course and I need to have the mouse spawn in a specific location when the form loads. How would I do this?

Thanks in advance.

hello
u can use this:
Declare the function

Declare Function SetCursorPos& Lib "user32" (ByVal p As Point)

dim p as point
p.x = 100
p.y = 200
SetCursorPos p

or, this:

Windows.Forms.Cursor.Current.Position = New System.Drawing.Point(225, 105)

hope this helps!

Neither seem to work correctly for me

[rusoaica]

did you put the Windows.Forms.Cursor.Current.Position = New System.Drawing.Point(225, 105) inside your form load sub or outside it?

[Twistedwheelbarrow]

Inside the load form but it loads at a completely different point to where I need it, even when I enter the correct coordinates

[rusoaica]

well, when you enter different coordinates, does the mouse position change or it is the same regardless of what coordinates you set?

[Twistedwheelbarrow]

It changes but when it does the form position changes when it loads :|

[rusoaica]

try to set the Start Position property of the form to CenterScreen. Is that working?

i dont know why..this should work... try it this way. type this in the form load sub:

Dim PositionX As Integer
Dim PositionY As Integer

PositionX = 100
PositionY = 300

Cursor.Position = New Point(PositionX, PositionY)
