GetChildAtPoint to get Control Out of Screen?

[tsunsau717]

Dear all, The function System.Windows.Forms.Control.GetChildAtPoint(Point pt) find control reference to the Control's Client Rectangle. However, I am looking for a Control that is out of screen. i.e. out of the Client Rectangle, but within the Display Rectangle. Is there any method for me to get that Control by a Coordinate point? Many Thanks.

Are you looking to get a control that sits on a different Form? RageInTheMachine9532 "...a pungent, ghastly, stinky piece of cheese!" -- The Roaming Gnome

It is on the same form. The control hierarchy is like this: Form |-Groupbox A |---TextBox A | |-Groupbox B |---TextBox B However, the size of the Form can only show the Groupbox A. I have to scroll down in order to show another groupbox. Now I have the coordinate of Groupbox B and TextBox B, can I get the control TextBox B by its coordinate point when the screen is still showing GroupBox A??? Many Thanks!!

You'll just have to try it. There is a chance that it might not work because it's not visible, and therefore, not being drawn. RageInTheMachine9532 "...a pungent, ghastly, stinky piece of cheese!" -- The Roaming Gnome
