MousePosition - offset on Y?

When using Control.MousePo sition the x values seems to be just fine when I
draw something on the screen, but the Y value seems to have got an offset -
independently of where on the screen I put the cursor the item I draw is a
fixed offset below the cursor - why is this so?

The coordinates are screen coordinates. If you want to use the
coordinates to draw on a control, you should use the PointToClient
method on that control to convert the coordinates.

Here is a program that encodes and decodes a text file. What I need to do is write a C++ program that requests 3 different file names. One filename is for the source file to be encoded, another is the name of the 'encoded' output file, and the final filename is an offset file. On a character by character basis, the program needs to look at the first character of the source file and offset it by the first character in the offset file. The...

Hello I'm busy working with an MDI parent and child forms. I've found that there is a discrepancy between the locations returned by DesktopLocation, Control.MousePosition and MouseEventArgs e.Location, but I can't work out why or what exactly the discrepancy is. My forms are all custom without title bars and thus I've had to create my own moving methods, etc. This is obviously related to the location of the mouse pointer. My mouse...
