Solved A better length picker

[oxicottin]

I have a length picker I have been using for several years and I get complaints on having to slide the button bla bla.. Is there another way I could display lengths in 1/32 increments in the below format up to 2"? I didn't create the picker I had help and really have no idea how it works....

0-0/32 TO 1-31/32

You could amend yours to take into account where the mouse is clicked.?

Get Cursor Position with a VBA Macro - wellsr.com

Return your cursor position coordinates with this VBA macro. Play around and use this to map out macro mouse movements using user32.dll.

Do you think its easy to use? The range could be cut down I really only need a range like 0-15/32 TO 1-15/32. I could use a combo box list value with those measurements?

Well it does not go up to 2".?
The highest is 1 31/32?
Personally, I think it is fine, however a combo in 1/32 increments would work just as well, if not better, I would have thought.?

Certainly determining mouse position is a lot harder.
I have managed to get it to move with mouse clicks, but only incrementing and then not jumping to where the cursor is? When mine only went to 1 31/32, I had to go back and check yours.
To reduce, I have to use the slider.

Not something I have tried before I admit.

If you add this it will give you the location you should be able to add the rest

Private Sub imgSlider_MouseUp(Button As Integer, Shift As Integer, X As Single, Y As Single)
Dim W As Long
W = Me.imgSlider.Width \ 32
W = (X \ W) + 1
MsgBox W
End Sub

you could have 1 textbox which allows the user to enter 1 to 63 number of 32nds - really depends on how the user thinks of this number

minor change, will show on the ruler "where you clicked".

Arnelgp, that's awesome thanks you!!! One question though, is there a way you can use your arrow keys to better control it? Sorry it took so long for a response I was on vacation
