Question

I have a form, with a textbox in it. When I start my application I want that textbox to contain the cursor position on screen, even if the cursor is out of my form. How can I do this?

My code is the following but it works only when the cursor is on the form:

protected override void OnMouseMove( MouseEventArgs e )
{
    mousePos.Text = Cursor.Position.ToString();

    base.OnMouseMove( e );
}

Create a System.Windows.Forms.Timer with an interval of 100 milliseconds, and put your function inside the Timer.Tick event handler.
