The initial button click will essentially prompt the user to click on
the two calibration points. The program needs to be able to aquire x
and y data points that are clicked and then using these points, create
a new label control with the lower left and upper right corners of the
control on the control points that were clicked.

Rock,

Here is some code to get the cursor position, but I am not clear how you
will run it, as pressing a button moves the cursor.

Private Declare Function GetCursorPos Lib "user32" _
(lpPoint As POINTAPI) As Long

Private Type POINTAPI
x As Long
y As Long
End Type

Sub test()
Dim pPosition As POINTAPI
Dim lReturn As Long

lReturn = GetCursorPos(pPosition)
MsgBox "Cursor position is:" & vbCrLf & _
"x co-ordinate: " & pPosition.x & vbCrLf & _
"y co-ordinate: " & pPosition.y

End Sub

om...
I am writing procedure in excel 2002 where I have imported a bitmap
image into a worksheet and I would like to digitize a few points (get
the x and y coordinates) when I click on the mouse.

I would like to press a macro button that would allow the user to
click on a lower left control point and an upper right control point
(points on the bmp that have known x and y values used for scaling)
and then draw a label control with corners through the control points.

I have searched the newsgroups, but have not seen how to do this.

Thanks for the help.
