If you want to move it relative to the current position then use the GetCursorPos() API to the current location and then you add/subtract to those values and then use SetCursorPos() as str_kani has suggested:
http://www.mentalis.org/apilist/GetCursorPos.shtml
Alternatively, you can use the mouse_event() API and specify relative coordinates. You can also make mouse clicks using this API:
http://www.mentalis.org/apilist/mouse_event.shtml
Option Explicit
Private Const MOUSEEVENTF_LEFTDOWN = &H2
Private Const MOUSEEVENTF_LEFTUP = &H4
Private Const MOUSEEVENTF_MOVE = &H1
Private Const MOUSEEVENTF_ABSOLUTE = &H8000
Private Declare Sub mouse_event Lib "user32" (ByVal dwFlags As Long, ByVal dx As Long, ByVal dy As Long, ByVal cButtons As Long, ByVal dwExtraInfo As Long)
Private Sub Form_Load()
Me.KeyPreview = True
End Sub
Private Sub Form_KeyDown(KeyCode As Integer, Shift As Integer)
Select Case KeyCode
Case vbKeyUp
mouse_event MOUSEEVENTF_MOVE, 0, -1, 0, 0
Case vbKeyRight
mouse_event MOUSEEVENTF_MOVE, 1, 0, 0, 0
Case vbKeyDown
mouse_event MOUSEEVENTF_MOVE, 0, 1, 0, 0
Case vbKeyLeft
mouse_event MOUSEEVENTF_MOVE, -1, 0, 0, 0
Case vbKeyReturn
mouse_event MOUSEEVENTF_LEFTDOWN, 0, 0, 0, 0
mouse_event MOUSEEVENTF_LEFTUP, 0, 0, 0, 0
End Select
End Sub
