You probably need to convert the coords to the parents client coords. And, its going to depend on what coord system its coming from as to what you'd have to do. Try looking into PointToClient and PointToScreen. -- Joel Lucsy

Have you looked at Spy++? It does what you want and more. I don't know if there are any managed APIs to do what you want. You might have to P/Invoke WindowFromPoint[^] instead. Regards Senthil _____________________________ My Blog | My Articles | WinMacro

Maybe just include a reference to D3D and have a go? Although i must admit the documentation all seems very poor for managed DirectX. I'm working on some DDraw stuff myself so if you figure it out then let me know, it would be nice to have some sort of options form or something like that in some of my future projects. I can't even point you in the direction of any good source material for managed directX, the best book i have found is Managed DirectX Kick Start by Tom Miller but the main focus of that is on D3D and it doesn't cover working with forms. As for websites i haven't been able to find any that specifically cover Managed DX, the best i have found is sites like this one that cover programming in general. A friend and I are working on a website at the minute but we have just started it and are going to focus on games programming so i don't see us worrying to much about getting forms displayed at the minute. If you fancy taking a look at the site go to www.monkeycmonkeydo.co.uk Kev

English is my first language actually even if it is cryptic at times.And,Dont worry about the issue, i fixed it myself. The Code Project Is Your Friend...

is there a already established class or dll that would do the job ? i have noticed that the packets do send out of order sometimes. The Code Project Is Your Friend...

thank you very much for your time. your anwser fixed the problem with only 2 small mods. Thank you very much. Jesse The Code Project Is Your Friend...

Jesse, Remoting is intended to be a replacement for DCOM. As such it supports remote method calls but it is not intended for downloading files. That is why the data is 'seemingly hidden'. Michael This signature left intentionally blank

Thanks alot. I figured it out from what you said. Very helpfull thanks. Jesse The Code Project Is Your Friend...

There is currently no "managed .Net way" of doing this, no. You need to implement system hooks by P/Invoking the necessary APIs. In fact, much of the .NET Framework BCL - especially System.Windows.Forms.dll - encapsulates native functionality already. You can see this by examing the BCL assemblies in the IL Disassembler (ildasm.exe that ships with the SDK) or another disassembler/decompiler of your liking. Read Global System Hooks in .NET[^]. Be very careful, however. System hooks need to be fast since all messages from a particular class of messages are passed through the hook. Some people writing managed code often take for granted what's given to you for free without thinking (or knowing) about the code that provides such functionality. And always make sure that your code will not currupt the system message pump unnecessarily. This posting is provided "AS IS" with no warranties, and confers no rights.

I found the problem. I was using this program called steganos internet anonm sounded intresting...makes your browser essentially hidden...but it must of be acting as a firewall also...blocking the framework form listening...my firewall was off...but even when it wasnt it said the my program was listening, so steganos must of be running between the too. Anyways thanks sooo much for your help i really apreciate it. Jesse M. The Code Project Is Your Friend...

I was wondering. Is alot of long horn wrote in C# or with .net in mind ? Also when is it supposed to come out ? Thanks alot for your comments. Jesse M The Code Project Is Your Friend...

Well i found from school that using .net remoting can do the samething but i want the raw power of sockets. knowing who is connect when/where/there IP, i assume you can write this into all of your objects and do the same with remoting, but why re-invent the wheel ? and for some reason even though i spent alot of time with remoting in school i seem to beable to use Asyncronous Sockets alot easier, they just make sense to me. And i have alot of power on how i recieve the objects, for example..in my recieving callback i have a stream write the recieved bytes to a file so it doesnt hog up my memory while it waits to download all of the object. This saved alot of memory because sending files encapslated in a class are very large, my socket recieves every connection and give it a unique output and saves the reieved bytes to that output. The unqiue output dir is saved in my state object in my recieve callback and i just reuse that same state object the next time around. Once the object is fully downloaded i move on and decrypt the saved bytes, decompress / reserialize, and the other user recieved it fine. Deep down inside the remoting calls uses sockets as well...although the remoting classes are more user friendly and by all means not dumbed down at all. (it also generates the sockets for you on the fly...which is awesome) Jesse M. The Code Project Is Your Friend...

I think the problem is arising because you are using doubles to store your values. The number 123^17 probably can't be stored exactly as a double. You should use a BigInteger class that can hold as many bits as you want for your encryption algorithm. Check out this article for some good info on implementing a BigInteger class: http://www.codeproject.com/csharp/BigInteger.asp[^] Using that class you will get the correct ciphertext (855) with this code: BigInteger e = new BigInteger(17); BigInteger d = new BigInteger(2753); BigInteger p = new BigInteger(61); BigInteger q = new BigInteger(53); BigInteger n = p * q; BigInteger P = new BigInteger(123); BigInteger C = P.modPow(e, n);

Thanks for your help james. It turns out that it is clipped around the controls. and i need it for only the controls. I tryed passing the Handle to just the control i want (Ctrl.CreateGraphics().GetHdc) but i get a out of memory exception. But when i call the api call with another api call in it (GetDesktopWindow()-returns pointer to desktop) it works fine. Any ideas ? Jesse M The Code Project Is Your Friend...

Quote from MSDN: "GetPixel: The GetPixel function retrieves the red, green, blue (RGB) color value of the pixel at the specified coordinates. " This seems to imply that the Alpha value is undefined when returned from GetPixel. It seems as though the Alpha is always zero, but then the docs don't say that so you can't trust it. I haven't been able to locate how to get the alpha value though :( -Nathan --------------------------- Hmmm... what's a signature?
