Hi, what is the MousePosition property of System.Windows.Forms.Control? I
tried reading it but I can't relate the Point values to the real position of
my mouse.

Thanks.

You may want to use 'Cursor.Position'.

How does that differ from the MousePosition property?

Sorry, it really doesn't differ from 'Control.MousePosition'. My bad...

Hi Chris,

If by real position, you mean the mouse position in control coordinates and not screen coordinates, use Control.PointToClient
