Filename Under Cursor

[Crouchie1998]

How do I get the filename of the file under the cursor without clicking on
it & returning it to my application using VB.NET 2003?

Example:

Imagine the 'MyCursor.cur' is embedded

PictureBox MouseDown Event:
--------------------------------

Me.Cursor = New Cursor(Me.GetTy pe(), "MyCursor.c ur")

PictureBox MouseUp Event:
-----------------------------

Get Filename of file here <----

Me.Cursor = Cursors.Default

Your help would be grateful in this matter

Re: Filename Under Cursor

I think you nee to be more specific with your question, where are the
filenames? Or do you want to show the filename of the image loaded in the
picturebox?

Re: Filename Under Cursor

The filename could be on the Desktop or in any directory & not in a
listview/listbox etc. The file extension I am interested in is MDB, so,
after only want to return the filenames of MDB files.

If you know the SPY++ program that came with VS 6 then the find window tool
has a magnifying glass. Just imagine you used that magnifying glass to mouse
over a Microsoft Access file. I want that filename to be returned to my
application, but if the magnifying glass moused over a different file, doc
for example it would be ignored.

Does this make it a little clearer? It's not going to be a simple answer
though.

Re: Filename Under Cursor

If get it right, you for example want someone who's using your app to
minimize your app then he/she select's a mdb file and that mdb fileinfo is
send to your app?
If that's what you want to do I'm afraid I can't help you.

Re: Filename Under Cursor

No, you are wrong.

If you have read my previous message you will see that when I let go of the
magnifying glass over an MDB file it puts the filename in my application.
That is why I mentioned the SPY++ program

I don't mean to be rude, but I think this question is way beyond your
knowledge

Re: Filename Under Cursor

Hi I know, that's why I stated before:

I'm afraid I can't help you. And you weren't rude, you were right ;-)

Greetz Peter & good luck
