Detect (x,y) of the mouse pointer

[Diane]

On a form I would like to place the mouse and click - then
the coordinates of the mouse should be used in my on-click
event for the form.

How do I get the (x,y) of the mouse pointer?

 

[James Goodman]

Use the MouseDown or MouseUp event. These both capture the x,y coords...

 

[Bill Mitchell]

But if the MouseDown event is in a control, it returns the X,Y coordinates
inside that control and not on the form. How does this work if I click on a
control and want to know the XY Coordinates on the form and not within the
control?

the control has a .Left and a .Top, if you add it to X and Y you will
get it
