RangeFromPoint method is not working ok when the direction righ_to_left

I'm the position from of cursor by Windows.Forms.Cursor.Position() and then
I invoke Window.RangeFromPoint with coordination I got from Cursor.

It works perfect when the direction of the work book is left to right.

Raja,
I don't have a R to L system handy, but are the coordinates reversed ?
Or something else ?

Hello NickHK,

how could I do the coordinates reversed?

I've tried to that using Application.Width and Application.Left and
Window.Left and Window.Width. but i got wrong values from these properties.
for instance
Application.Width was 966 instead of 1200 which my resolution.

Raja

Raja,
Yes, I get Application.Width =966 with a screen resolution set at 1280 x
1027 pixels.
It all depends on which units your various coordinates are in and also
relative to what.
You will (probably) need some conversion between Windows coords<Excel
coords.

So what do you mean by "RangeFromPoint method is not working ok" ?
And "It works perfect when the direction of the work book is left to right"
?

Hello NickHk,

thank you for your resopond, i feel we getting close to the solution. still
one question

How could I Convert the From Point value to Pixel Value? Could I take the
screenWidth/Application.Width ?

See the VBA below. Adapt to you .Net language. You should also get the
display resolution, but I have just hard coded to more common value using
Small Fonts of 96 dpi.
So whilst Help is not explicit, it would seem that the dimensions returned
about the Excel environemt are in points, not pixels.
Note: This assumes there are no task bars etc docked to the left/right of
the desktop. In release code, you should check for this.

Private Declare Function GetSystemMetrics Lib "user32" (ByVal nIndex As
Long) As Long
Const SM_CXSCREEN = 0 'X Size of screen

Private Sub CommandButton1_Click()

Const SMALLFONTS_DPI As Long = 96
Const POINTS_INCH As Long = 72

With Application
.WindowState = xlMaximized

Debug.Print "Screen in Points = " & GetSystemMetrics(SM_CXSCREEN) /
SMALLFONTS_DPI * POINTS_INCH
Debug.Print "Application.Left = " & .Left
Debug.Print "Application.Width = " & .Width
End With

End Sub
