Hi guys/gals:

I build a simple test program in VC# 2005 that's just a window that tells me my mouse position and the window size, the thing is that if I move my mouse to the edge of the window the window size and the mouse position are different in this example case I have mouse pos 426 and window height 423. Is this something to do with different coordinate systems or something? ...

To get the mouse position on the mouse move event I do:

[source]

private void Graficador_MouseMove(object sender, MouseEventArgs e)
{
x = e.X.ToString();
y = label2.Text = e.Y.ToString();
}
[/source]

to get the window size I do:
[source]

private void Graficador_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
h = this.Height;
w = this.Width;
}
[/source]

Thanks in advance,

there are also differences between client area and form area ( the border and title/menu are not part of the client area). Coordiantes (mainly where 0 is) is different for each of these, and they are even different from the coordinate of the point in screen area.

What is your goal with displaying/using the location of the cursor in your program? Or is this part of expanding your skills with C#?

I solved it!! thanks both of you guys ... I used the clientsize property and got what I wanted ... I got what I needed, to display the mouse position on the form ...

Thanks a lot again!
