Discussion Overview

The discussion revolves around implementing a snap grid feature in a Visual Basic 6 Standard (VB6 Std) application, specifically for an engineering CAD application. Participants explore methods, functions, and properties that could facilitate cursor movement to align with a grid.

Discussion Character

  • Technical explanation, Conceptual clarification, Debate/contested

Main Points Raised

  • One participant seeks assistance in finding a method to move the cursor onto a snap grid in VB6 Std, questioning whether such a feature exists in the standard edition.
  • Another participant suggests checking the CURRENTPOSITON function as a potential solution for cursor positioning.
  • A different participant provides a link to an external resource that may contain relevant information regarding mouse functions in VB6.
  • A participant clarifies that the xxxx.currentx/y is a property rather than a function and questions whether it can also move the cursor, indicating uncertainty about its functionality.

Areas of Agreement / Disagreement

There is no clear consensus on the effectiveness of the suggested methods, and participants express uncertainty regarding the capabilities of certain properties and functions.

Contextual Notes

Participants have not resolved the question of whether the standard edition of VB6 supports the desired cursor movement functionality or if additional libraries are necessary.

hi everyone
can you help me?
i use visual basic 6 std to make a small engineering cad application
i want to implement a snap grid feature but in vb6std i have been unsuccessful
the reason being i can't find a method,precedure,function
for example xxxx.cursormove(x,y)
to force move the cursor onto the snap grid at the position i want
