Cursor Position relative to Application

Question

I know how to get the cursor's position :

 int X = Cursor.Position.X;
 int Y = Cursor.Position.Y;

But this is relative to the screen. How do i get the coordinates relative to my Form?

Answer 1

Use the Control.PointToClient method. Assuming this points to the form in question:

var relativePoint = this.PointToClient(new Point(X, Y));

Or simply:

var relativePoint = this.PointToClient(Cursor.Position);

Answer 2

I would use PointToClient like this:

Point p = yourForm.PointToClient(Cursor.Position);
//if calling it in yourForm class, just replace yourForm with this or simply remove it.
