Mouse Coordinates

Hey I need to get the current position of the mouse relevant to the form. I found the code: public static Point MousePosition { get; } ... And I tried:

private void button1_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
Coord.Text = "X: " + Control.MousePosition.X + ", Y: " + Control.MousePosition.Y;
}


But theres some error with the public static Point MousePosition...

Truthfully im an extreme n00b, I try to avoid wasting your guys time by looking everywhere and making this a last resort to look for on help but I searched everywhere and thats best I could find. My guess is I have it in the wrong spot but thats best place I could find to put it. Any ideas?


namespace RS_Autominer
{
public partial class Form1 : Form
{
public static Point MousePosition { get; }

public Form1()
{
InitializeComponent();
}

private void Form1_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
{

}

private void button1_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
Coord.Text = "X: " + Control.MousePosition.X + ", Y: " + Control.MousePosition.Y;
}
}
}

Control.MousePosition returns screen coordinates. If you want them to be relative to a control, you have to call the control's instance method PointToClient(). In your case, It could be

Code:

---

private void button1_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
  Point inClient = this.button1.PointToClient(Control.MousePosition);
  Coord.Text = "X: " + inClient.X + ", Y: " + inClient.Y;
}
