Question

I have a problem with displaying the text under the mouse cursor on Picture Box.
I want to dynamically display the mouse coordinates under the cursor.

I’m trying to display text by label and change the label’s position when a “MouseMove” event happens.

 private void pictureBox1_MouseMove(object sender, MouseEventArgs e)
    {            
        label1.Location = new Point(e.X + 10, e.Y + 10);
    }

But, I think, it is a bad solution…
And although it works it hides other output when we move the cursor

Thanks a lot!

Thanks for Thomas’s advice, here code to display mouse coordinate under cursor:

ToolTip tt = new ToolTip();
tt.SetToolTip(pic, " ");
tt.ShowAlways = true;

 private void pictureBox1_MouseMove(object sender, MouseEventArgs e)
 {
    tt.ToolTipTitle = e.X + "  " + e.Y; 
 }
