HtmlDocument.GetElementFromPoint(Point) Method

Retrieves the HTML element located at the specified client coordinates.

C#

 

public System.Windows.Forms.HtmlElement GetElementFromPoint (System.Drawing.Point point);

Parameters

point

Point

The x,y position of the element on the screen, relative to the top-left corner of the document.

Returns

HtmlElement

The HtmlElement at the specified screen location in the document.

Examples

The following code example detects a click on the document, finds the element, and uses ScrollIntoView to align the element with the top of the Web page.

C#

private void Document_Click(Object sender, HtmlElementEventArgs e)
{
    if (webBrowser1.Document != null)
    {
        HtmlElement elem = webBrowser1.Document.GetElementFromPoint(e.ClientMousePosition);
        elem.ScrollIntoView(true);
    }
}

Remarks

GetElementFromPoint uses client coordinates, in which the upper-left corner of the document is assigned the value (0,0). Client coordinates for the current position of the cursor can be obtained using the Position property.
