If it's for a Web browser control, then this article explains how to do it: https://www.codeproject.com/Articles/32279/How-To-Tell-What-is-Clicked-in-a-WebBrowser-Contro

First off, we need to translate the mouse coordinates on the screen, into a Point object:

Point ScreenCoord = new Point(MousePosition.X, MousePosition.Y);

Now, we must create the coordinates of the browser, based off the coordinates of the screen:

Point BrowserCoord = webBrowser1.PointToClient(ScreenCoord);

Now we can use the WebBrowser documents GetElementFromPoint method to retrieve the element that has been clicked:

HtmlElement elem = webBrowser1.Document.GetElementFromPoint(BrowserCoord);

Now, we can use this element to see what has been clicked:

switch (elem.TagName) { 
case "A": //! We have clicked a link 
break; 
case "IMG": //! We have clicked an image
break; 
default: //! This is anywhere else 
break; 
}
