Mouse Arrow Constants

[VBpunk]

<br>
Hey all<br>
<br>
This should be an easy one. I'm trying to find <br>
a constant which represents the current value of<br>
the mouse arrow. I figure there are constants<br>
for time, date, X & Y co-ordinates for the active<br>
window. There should be a constant for the mouse<br>
arrow which tracks the X and Y values no matter<br>
where the user moves the mouse. I've tried every<br>
CurrentX or CurrentY constant which I could find <br>
in the Object Brouser. <br>
<br>
Whadya Say? Any one know the answer ??? <br>

Is this in reference to the MousePointer property or the MouseMove event? MousePointer sets the shape of the mouse cursor (as in Form1.MousePointer = vbArrowQuestion) and MouseMove determines the X and Y coordinates of the mouse pointer's position on a form or control and whether a button or shift key is held down while moving the mouse:<br>
<br>
Private Sub Form_MouseMove(Button As Integer, Shift As Integer, X As Single, Y As Single)<br>
Label1 = &quot;X=&quot; & X &quot; Y=&quot; & Y & &quot;Button=&quot; & Button & &quot;Shift=&quot; & Shift<br>
End Sub<br>
<br>
Hope this helps.<br>

I've tried to use this on MDIForms, but it doesn't seem to work... is there a work-around for that? Best Regards and many Thanks!

I think I have narrowed the problem down to this:
The MDIForm won't take MouseMove Events, because there are other objects which are taking it. Is this true? And if so, how do I circumvent this? Best Regards and many Thanks!
