I want to insert a Text box at the Mouse have the following to determine the position of the pointer:
To insert the Text Box I have:
This is not working as the llCoord.Ycoord and llCoord.Xcoord is not relative to the page. I know that 72 points = 1 inc = 2.54 cm. But if you scroll or zoom this does not work anymore.
How do I get the pointer position relative to the page or how do I place the textbox on llCoord.Ycoord and llCoord.Xcoord
Kind Regards
Code:
Dim llCoord As POINTAPI
Declare PtrSafe Function GetCursorPos Lib "user32" (lpPoint As POINTAPI) As Long
'Create custom variable that holds two integers
Type POINTAPI
Xcoord As Long
Ycoord As Long
End Type
Sub GetCursorPosition()
'Get the cursor positions
GetCursorPos llCoord
'Display the cursor position coordinates
MsgBox "X Position: " & llCoord.Xcoord & vbNewLine & "Y Position: " & llCoord.Ycoord
End Sub
To insert the Text Box I have:
Code:
Sub mark()
Dim Box As Shape
Set Box = ActiveDocument.Shapes.AddTextbox( _
Orientation:=msoTextOrientationHorizontal, _
Left:=25, Top:=25, Width:=25, Height:=25)
Box.Line.Visible = msoFalse
Box.TextFrame.TextRange.Font.Size = 20
Box.TextFrame.TextRange.Font.Bold = msoTrue
Box.TextFrame.TextRange.Font.ColorIndex = wdRed
Box.TextFrame.TextRange.InsertSymbol 252, "Wingdings", True
With Selection.Range
With Box
.RelativeHorizontalPosition = wdRelativeHorizontalPositionPage
.Left =llCoord.Xcoord
.RelativeVerticalPosition = wdRelativeVerticalPositionPage
.Top = llCoord.Ycoord
End With
End With
End Sub
