Is it possible to change the position of the mouse cursor/pointer?

Move mouse Cursor

Hi,
On the form Load event, Paste the following code if button1 is the control where you want to move the mouse cursor

Windows.Forms.Cursor.Position = New System.Drawing.Point(Button1.Location.X + Me.Location.X + 50, Button1.Location.Y + Me.Location.Y + 30)

I am just wondering why you are using the Location.X and Y and the +50 +30 ? is it only to center the cursor in the middle of the button or something else ?

cause I don't think it's a necessity, just that the cursor will be at the top left. ??

if you really want to center it

Windows.Forms.Cursor.Position = New System.Drawing.Point(Button1.Location.X + (button1.width /2) , Button1.Location.Y + (button1.height /2) )

should work better. You are sure it's always the case.
unless you are using all the time a standart button

btw : thank you for your information
