Question

I am making a form which has a ListView. I want to show a “Picture Window” whenever mouse hovers above one of the listView Item in the ListView. I implemented this by using “ListView”‘s “ItemMouseHover” event. I want to show this “Picture Window” just near to the mouse position. But , I couldn’t get the mouse position from the itemmousehover event. Can anybody say how to achieve this?

Note: I am using .Net 4.0

EDIT:
“Danbystrom” gave the exact answer. But I found the root cause is some other. See my answer for that.

Answer 1

The static method Control.MousePosition will give you the coordinates in screen space. Then you can convert that into client coordinates with the Control.PointToClient instance method.

var pt = listView.PointToClient( Control.MousePosition );
