Sequence of events

Hi people
I´m new here and i´m begginning with VB .NET now

well, I have a simple problem

I wanna get the coordinates of de cursor in the picturebox, but in the following sequence

- Click in a button
- Click in a PicBox to get de coordinates
- Use the coordinates to change a TextBox

well, the subroutines usually works

Sub event
procedures
End Sub

in my case

Sub button_click

on picbox_click -----> here is my problem
get coordinates
change a value of a TextBox

End Sub

well, 2 events for one procedure

how do i do that ??? i´m desesperate !!!!!! :(

thank you!

With a textbox, a picturebox, and a button, I assume the button is to enable the click event used to capture the point value. Declare two variables, on to determine whether or not the click event on the picturebox is enabled, and one to hold the current point.

When the button is clicked, set the mEnabled variable to true.

When the mouse is moved over the picture box, record the current position of the mouse into the point variable.

When the click event is fired on the picture box, if mEnabled is true, send the current point value to the text box and then disable the click event by setting mEnabled to false.

Imports System.Drawing
Imports System.Drawing.Drawing2D

Public Class Form1

     Private mEnabled As Boolean
     Private mPoint As Point

     Private Sub btnEnable_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs)
     Handles btnEnable.Click
          mEnabled = True
     End Sub

     Private Sub picTarget_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs)
     Handles picTarget.Click
          If mEnabled = True Then
               txtPoint.Text = "Clicked at " & mPoint.X.ToString() & ", " & mPoint.Y.ToString()
               mEnabled = False
          End If
     End Sub

     Private Sub picTarget_MouseMove(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As
     System.Windows.Forms.MouseEventArgs) Handles picTarget.MouseMove
          mPoint.X = e.X
          mPoint.Y = e.Y
     End Sub

End Class
