You can find out whether the mouse is within the bounds of your control like this (assuming this code resides in your container control; if not, replace this with a reference to the container control):

private void MyControl_MouseLeave(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
    if (this.ClientRectangle.Contains(this.PointToClient(Cursor.Position)))
    {
        // the mouse is inside the control bounds
    }
    else
    {
        // the mouse is outside the control bounds
    }
}
