Don't use a timer for this, instead use "Form1_MouseMove".

You can find the bugs to compile the code, but it won't help. As the name of the method suggests (the name violates Microsoft naming rules), it will be called on timer tick. What, you really want unlimited number text boxes on top of each other?

Just don't do it. One step further: don't use timer, especially System.Windows.Forms.Timer. Too boring to explain why…
Better, you explain why using it? Just to try? This I can understand…

My 5 - Good points, OP might be pulling our collective legs though - this may be a hint: MessageBox.Show("LOL")

It can be a hint, right, I pay attention for this in first place. "Just for luzls" is a valid justification... :-)
Thank you, Espen.

Solution 1

It's written in VB? :)

Seriously, a Point requires two integers, not a bool and an int. You can't do the compare as one of the two parameters.

What are you actually trying to do?

"If my cursor reaches past a certain point of the app it will do something"

Then try:

If (Cursor.Position.X >= 350)
   ...
End If

It's written in VB - that's worth a 5 - Apart from that, you obviously got the soul and patience of a saint :)

Main problem is using timer.
