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?

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);
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.
How about trying like this using the Control.PointToClient:-
public Form()
{
InitializeComponent();
panel = new System.Windows.Forms.Panel();
panel.Location = new System.Drawing.Point(90, 150);
panel.Size = new System.Drawing.Size(200, 100);
panel.Click += new System.EventHandler(this.panel_Click);
this.Controls.Add(this.panel);
}
private void panel_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
Point point = panel.PointToClient(Cursor.Position);
MessageBox.Show(point.ToString());
}
