A Boolean expression can test more than one condition using AND and OR to combine two or more expressions. Let's suppose that we want to know if the mouse is in the top left corner. The following code (in Form1_MouseMove) would do that:

  If e.X = 0 And e.Y = 0 Then
     Me.Text = "Top left corner"
  End If

We could also define the top left corner as a slightly bigger area and say;

  If e.X < 10 And e.Y < 10 Then
     Me.Text = "Top left corner"
  End If

For some reason, we can never get the value of e.X to equal me.Width. When the form has a width of 300, the largest value that appears for e.X is 283. Therefore, if we want to know if the mouse is in the top right corner, we could use the code below:

  If e.X >= Me.Width - 20 And e.Y < 10 Then
     Me.Text = "Top right corner"
  End If

If we would like to know if the mouse is along either side, left or right we could write:

  If e.X < 10 Or e.X >= Me.Width - 20 Then
     Me.Text = "side"
  End If

We can also add the Else block to say middle if it is not on the side:

  If e.X < 10 Or e.X >= Me.Width - 20 Then 'left or right
     Me.Text = "side"
  Else
     Me.Text = "middle"
  End If
