mouseposition

Hi.

I have a panel and have added a PictureBox to it.
I have added mouse_click listeners to both the panel and the picturebox.
When they are clicked i create a messagebox which tells me the mouse position.

Problem:

When i click the panel, i get the mouse position i want.
When i click the pictureBox, i get the current position in that picturebox.

What i want:

I want both of the controls to get the current mouseposition on the form.
I can also go with getting the current mouseposition of the panel, since it is overlaying the form.

Does anybody know how i can do this? I've googled around for this, but can't seem to find anything about it.

Thank you in advance.
