Here is a good article how help you to getting Position of mouse cursor when clicked out side the form's :
Get Cursor Position outside form

You can add to the cursor position in the form, the position of the form in the screen.
Label1.Text = Form1.Location.X + Cursor.Position.X;
Label1.Text += Form1.Location.Y + Cursor.Position.Y;

mouse position property set mouse position according to whole screen instead current windows form

Hello I have a windows form. I want to show a popup at the position of mouse but when I get the mouse position with mouseposition property,it doesnt show right below the cursor.
When I click the cell the popup should appear right below the cursor instead it shows at random places
I have a code like this:
Point p = new Point();
p = MousePosition;
if (e.Column.Name=="colnot_detay")
{
labelControl1.Text=gridView1.GetRowCellValue(gridView1.FocusedRowHandle,"not_detay").ToString();
popupContainerControl2.Location = p;
popupContainerControl2.Show();
}

WPF C# wrong mouse coordinates

So im trying to get mouse coordinates from a click on an image, and it gives the wrong coordinates. When i move the mouse to draw, the line appears away from the cursor.
This is the code i use to get the mouse coordinates:
private void ponaredek_MouseDown(object sender, MouseButtonEventArgs e)
{
mouseDown = true;
//x1 = System.Windows.Forms.Control.MousePosition;
x1 = new System.Drawing.Point((int)e.GetPosition(this).X, (int)e.GetPosition(this).Y);
}
x1 is of type System.Drawing.Point (i need the point from drawing, to use in emgucv). What do i have to do to correct the cursor location (i drew where the cursor was)
You want to get the mouse position relative to the Image element, not the Window. So replace
e.GetPosition(this)
by
e.GetPosition((IInputElement)sender)
or
e.GetPosition(ponaredek)
if that is the Image element.
It should look like this:
var pos = e.GetPosition((IInputElement)sender);
x1 = new System.Drawing.Point(pos.X, pos.Y);
Also make sure the Image element's Stretch property is set to None.

Show popup at mouse location

I want to show usercontrol as popup at mouse location.
However below code doesn't work for this;
System.Drawing.Point mousePos = System.Windows.Forms.Cursor.Position;
System.Drawing.Point formPos = this.Bounds.Location;
popupChart1.ultraLabel1.Text = e.DataRow.ToString() ;
popupChart1.Location = new System.Drawing.Point(mousePos.X - formPos.X, mousePos.Y - formPos.Y);
popupChart1.Show();
It doesn't throws any error, it just show it self at another place. What could be the reason ?
You should set the location after the form is rendered.
And if you want it to show at your mouse cursor position then simply use Cursor.Position instead of the math you did
popupChart1.Show();
popupChart1.Location = Cursor.Position;
OR
if you want to set the location before you show the window you can do
popupChart1.Location = Cursor.Position;
popupChart1.StartPosition = FormStartPosition.Manual;
popupChart1.Show();

Find coords of mouse cursor position in RichTextBox

I want to find the X/Y pixel coordinates of the current mouse cursor position in a Winforms RichTextBox in C#. How do I go about this?
This should work:
Point p = new Point(Cursor.Position.X, Cursor.Position.Y);
int mx = richTextBox1.PointToClient(p).X;
int my = richTextBox1.PointToClient(p).Y;

How to fake mouse cursor position in Windows Forms C#?

I have this Windows Forms application with a simple balloon tooltip. Depending on the application's window location on the desktop and the mouse cursor location, the balloon 'tip' (or balloon pointing arrow) may or may not be pointing to the location I want.
For instance, my app snaps to the desktop sides and when it's snapped to the right side, if the mouse cursor is below 100px of the right side, the balloon 'tip' will point to the wrong place. But if the mouse cursor is anywhere else, it will point to the right place.
In this situation I wanted to fake the mouse cursor position (without actually changing the mouse cursor position) to be somewhere else so the the problem wouldn't occur.
Is this possible? How can I achieve this?
private void noteTitleInput_KeyPress(object sender, KeyPressEventArgs e) {
if(e.KeyChar == Convert.ToChar(Keys.Return, CultureInfo.InvariantCulture) && noteTitleInput.Text.Length > 0) {
e.Handled = true;
noteInputButton_Click(null, null);
} else if(!Char.IsControl(e.KeyChar)) {
if(Array.IndexOf(Path.GetInvalidFileNameChars(), e.KeyChar) > -1) {
e.Handled = true;
System.Media.SystemSounds.Beep.Play();
noteTitleToolTip.Show("The following characters are not valid:\n\\ / : * ? < > |",
groupNoteInput, 25, -75, 2500);
return;
}
}
noteTitleToolTip.Hide(groupNoteInput);
}
I'm not quite sure why do you need to set cursor position, because you can set tool tip to appear where you tell it, and not necessarily where the mouse is.
For example:
tooltip1.Show("My tip", controlOnWhichToShow, 15, 15);
would display the tip at upper left corner of the controlOnWhichToShow, 15 points away from edges.
If I misunderstood you, than please specify at which point in time is the mouse position being used.
If you sync the MouseHover event, you can create the Tooltip as veljkoz describes. In this way you can place the tooltip as you like. The code would look smething like this:
protected override void OnMouseHover(EventArgs e)
{
ToolTip myToolTip = new ToolTip();
myToolTip.IsBalloon = true;
// TODO The x and y coordinates should be what ever you wish.
myToolTip.Show("Helpful Text Also", this, 50, 50);
base.OnMouseHover(e);
}
Hope that helps.
In Windows Forms the mouse is captured by the control when the user presses a mouse button on a control, and the mouse is released by the control when the user releases the mouse button.
The Capture property of the Control class specifies whether a control has captured the mouse. To determine when a control loses mouse capture, handle the MouseCaptureChanged event.
Only the foreground window can capture the mouse. When a background window attempts to capture the mouse, the window receives messages only for mouse events that occur when the mouse pointer is within the visible portion of the window. Also, even if the foreground window has captured the mouse, the user can still click another window, bringing it to the foreground. When the mouse is captured, shortcut keys do not work.

You can do what you say with a Class. You can do it in a very simple way.
one create class and
namespace MousLokasyonbulma
{
class benimtooltip : ToolTip
{
[System.Runtime.InteropServices.DllImport("User32.dll")]
static extern bool MoveWindow(IntPtr h, int x, int y, int width, int height, bool redraw);
public benimtooltip()
{
this.OwnerDraw = true;
this.Draw += Benimtooltip_Draw;
}
private void Benimtooltip_Draw(object sender, DrawToolTipEventArgs e)
{
e.DrawBackground();
e.DrawBorder();
e.DrawText();
var t = (ToolTip)sender;
var h = t.GetType().GetProperty("Handle",
System.Reflection.BindingFlags.NonPublic | System.Reflection.BindingFlags.Instance);
var handle = (IntPtr)h.GetValue(t);
var location = new Point(650, 650);
var ss= MoveWindow(handle, location.X, location.Y, e.Bounds.Width, e.Bounds.Height, false);
}
}
