By your last sentence, do you mean you want to show the X and Y coordinates of the *mouse* cursor?

Mouse.X and Mouse.Y will give you the coordinates of the mouse cursor relative to the top, left corner of the Form when used in 
the Form_MouseMove event handler. Mouse.ScreenX and Mouse.ScreenY, available at any time and not just within a MouseMove event, 
will give you the coordinates of the mouse cursor relative to the top, left corner of the entire screen.

The X and Y properties of the Cursor class are dynamic and not static. To use them, you would need to create a new Cursor object 
from the Cursor class (https://gambaswiki.org/wiki/comp/gb.qt4/cursor/_new). But, I think this is not what you want because 
those properties represent only the X and Y coordinates of the hot spot of your custom cursor. They do not give the position of 
the mouse cursor.
