The goal is to pan a form or image on the form when left clicking, and dragging the mouse. The below code works perfectly fine for my needs, but there is only one issue. When I left click and drag the mouse, the form pans quicker than the mouse, making it awkward. Is there any method I can use to make the form pan at the same rate as my mouse? Here is my code:
Private leftClick as Point
Private Sub Form_OnMouseDown(sender as Object, e as MouseEventArgs) Handles Form.MouseDown
leftClick = e.Position
End Sub
Private Sub Form_OnMouseMove(sender as Object, e as MouseEventArgs) Handles Form.MouseMove
'Resolves issue where mouse keeps on moving even if not
Static MyPoint As New Point
If e.Location = MyPoint Then Exit Sub
MyPoint = e.Location
'If we left click anywhere on form, pan the form
If e.Button = Windows.Forms.MouseButtons.Left Then
Dim DeltaX As Integer = (leftClick.X - e.x)
Dim DeltaY As Integer = (leftClick.Y - e.y)
Dim newX as Integer = DeltaX - Me.AutoScrollPosition.X
Dim newY as Integer = DeltaY - Me.AutoScrollPosition.Y
'Then we set the new autoscroll position.
Me.AutoScrollPosition = New Point(newX, newY)
End If
End Sub
Thanks!
You have a little mistake in your code:
Private Sub Form_OnMouseMove(sender as Object, e as MouseEventArgs) Handles Form.MouseMove
'Resolves issue where mouse keeps on moving even if not
Static MyPoint As New Point
If e.Location = MyPoint Then Exit Sub
MyPoint = e.Location
'If we left click anywhere on form, pan the form
If e.Button = Windows.Forms.MouseButtons.Left Then
Dim DeltaX As Integer = (leftClick.X - e.x)
Dim DeltaY As Integer = (leftClick.Y - e.y)
Dim newX as Integer = DeltaX - Me.AutoScrollPosition.X
Dim newY as Integer = DeltaY - Me.AutoScrollPosition.Y
'Then we set the new autoscroll position.
Me.AutoScrollPosition = New Point(newX, newY)
'Add this code
leftClick.X = e.X '<---
leftClick.Y = e.Y '<---
End If
End Sub
You need the difference between the previous mouse position and the current one. What you did was to calculate the total from the position you clicked.
