String.Format("Mouse X:{0}, Y:{1}", Control.MousePosition.X, Control.MousePosition.Y) is clearly a string. If you want to be able to use the X & Y value you could assign the location property as Point instead.

Hi,

do like this,

cb.location.X = Control.MousePosition.X;
cb.location.Y = Control.MousePosition.Y;

or,

Point p = new Point(Control.MousePosition.X,Control.MousePosition.Y);
cb.location = p;

Thanks
