}

private void pictureBox1_MouseUp(object sender, MouseEventArgs e)
{
    timer1.Enabled = false;
}

Your answers will be appreciated.

I don't quite get what you're asking, but I think you're looking for one or the other of `Control.PointToClient` or `Control.PointToScreen`. — adv12, Mar 14 '16 at 18:06
Or look at the ClientRectangle property of the form: https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.windows.forms.control.clientrectangle%28v=vs.110%29.aspx — ManoDestra, Mar 14 '16 at 18:06

Use the PointToClient() method of the form.
