Help with VB6 Std & Snap Grid Feature

  • Thread starter philocrazy
  • Start date
In summary, The user is seeking help with implementing a snap grid feature in their small engineering CAD application using Visual Basic 6 Std. They have been unsuccessful in finding a method, procedure, or function for forcing the cursor to move onto the snap grid at a specific position. They are wondering if the std edition supports such a call or if there is a library that contains it. Another user suggests checking the CURRENTPOSITION function and provides a link for more information. The original user also asks if xxxx.currentx/y is a property or a function and if it moves the cursor.
