My mouse settings are playing up so I was in the mouse control panel fiddling with things and noticed the "Display pointer trails" checkbox.
Does anyone here remember when laptop screens were so bad you actually needed pointer trails so you could follow where the mouse was? What a blast from the past.
cheers

I have Show location of pointer when I press the CTRL key enabled.
I have multiple monitors and not the greatest vision.
Helps me find the cursor but I do get grief from the younger devs.

Using three 1920x1080 monitors... sometimes I find myself moving the mouse desperately to try to see it... 
Your method is waaaaay better...

I also use Pointer Location. I try to blame multi monitors, but it's probably my age...

Ditto, though there are times I hit CTRL and then wonder why the screen went 'wobbly'...

Tonight's late posting is brought to you by 13yo not doing her history project over the two week half-term and realising it's due in in the morning. I am giving her help as needed whilst [a] reading and [b] quality checking a rather cheeky Hungarian red. Chin! Chin!

It's a necessity when you have two 1920x1200 monitors and a 40" 4K one. Even with that, I still sometimes lose the pointer.
I'm beginning to think it's time Microsoft allowed larger mouse pointers (64x64 or even 128x128)
|
|
|
|
|
The next time one of your younger devs is away from their system, change the mouse pointer to "hide" when not in use. The CTRL allows you to find it again quickly.
|
|

There was no such time. But there was a time when laptop screens were so bad that they gave you pointer trails even if you didn't want them, especially when it was a little cold.

Is remembering when a different popular tech site got a torrent of hatoraid[^] for implementing cursor trails as part of an ad close enough?
Less snarkily, like Ferd I use the Show on Ctrl feature. It really helps at 4960x1600;[^] especially early in the morning.
Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, waging all things in the balance of reason?
Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful?

First laptop I ever played around with was a Compaq 386 with a monochrome amber display.
There was always a trail.
Quite fitting as it was built like a tank.

Yes I do. My eyes do. Luckily my laptop showed the trail on its own - it had a mangled refresh rate

I'm so old that I remember when there was no mouse, only a CLI.
Having said that, I can still have locating the cursor when the focus is on a VM window displaying the console of the VM. The cursor is not to be found by any method until you switch the focus away from the VM window.

I just want to pass data to DataGridView from another form?
I have 2 windows forms:
- from1 contains DataGridView1 and button_frm1.The DataGridView have 3 columns and already have some data (6 rows) and DataGridView1 modifiers = Public.
- form2 contains textBox1 and button_frm2.
Now, when I click button_frm1 form2 appears and next when I click button_frm2 the value in the textBox should be inserted into DataGridView1 in column0 in the selected row. but instead, I got this error: "Index was out of range. Must be non-negative and less than the size of the collection".
Please help me how to insert the textBox value from form2 into DataGridView1 in form1. What steps to follow? Thank you very much in advance.
Here is the code I tried:
Form1:
public partial class Form1 : Form
{
public Form1()
{
InitializeComponent();
}
private void button_frm1_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
Form2 frm2 = new Form2();
frm2.Show();
}
}
Form2:
public partial class Form2 : Form
{
public Form2()
{
InitializeComponent();
}
private void button_frm2(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
Form1 frm1 = new Form1();
textBox1.Text= frm1.dataGridView1.SelectedRows[0].Cells[0].Value.ToString();
}
}

Start by looking around at what you are doing: see the bit at the top of teh page? Where it says "Technical discussions are encouraged, but click here to ask your programming question."?
Perhaps if you paid attention you wouldn't annoy people, and you might get a better response.
Then click on the red bit, and it'll take you here: http://www.codeproject.com/Questions/ask.aspx[^]

Delete your post and move it to the proper forum for asking coding questions. This is not a good start to your CP career!

You can't. DataGridView are very arrogant and won't accept anything coming from someone else.
