' Tracking mouse X/Y

'If You Are Looking For Overall Coordinates Relative To
'The Form This Should Help.
'Normally Mousex And Mousey Is Used With Onmousemove
'And Coordinates Are Related To That Control.
'But Not All Controls Like Qedit And Qstatusbar Have
'This Property. So The Qtimer And Screen.Mousex/y
'Is A Good Way To Cover All Controls.
'You Then Have To Convert Coordinates To The Location
'And Size Of The Form.
