Question

I want to get the mouse position with respect to the control in which mouse pointer is present. That means when I place the cursor to the starting point (Top-Left corner) of

Answer 1

Snippet code as following:

private void Control_MouseMove(object sender, MouseEventArgs e)
{
    var btn = sender as Button;
    var point = e.Location;
    point.X += btn.Location.X;
    point.Y += btn.Location.Y;

    Control findTarget = btn.Parent.GetChildAtPoint(point, GetChildAtPointSkip.Invisible) as Button;
    if (findTarget != null)
    {
        // TO DO
    }
}

Where the button is one of many buttons in a hosting panel.

Answer 2

private void panel1_MouseMove(object sender, MouseEventArgs e)
{
    Text = panel1.PointToClient(Cursor.Position).ToString();    
} 

Answer 3

One can use following methods for getting the relative from absolute and absolute from relative coordinates:

Point Control.PointToClient(Point point);

Point Control.PointToScreen(Point point);

Answer 4

Simply subtract from the cursor position the Left and Top coordinates of the control:

this.Text = Convert.ToString(
    Cursor.Position.X - this.Left + ":" +
    Cursor.Position.Y - this.Top);

Answer 5

Use Control.PointToClient to convert a point from screen-relative coords to control-relative coords. If you need to go the other way, use PointToScreen.
