get mouse_over on PBox while Dragging label onto PBox

DragLeave DragEnter DragDrop DragOver CursorChanged GotFocus

Nothing works while dragging... i also have PictureBox1.AllowDrop = True

i need to control the event b4 the user does a mouse up on the label....

basically i need to make sure the 20,20 label is on the pbox b4 releasing

the image in the label is the same as the cursor, when a use click and drags the label/image i set label visible false and change the cursor to that image
when the user does a mouse_up over the Pbox i swap the cursor with the label/image.

Thanks

im bulding an array of labels, with custom mouse events, when dragging a lable from its groupbox onto my picturebox that is also in another groupbox my picturebox events are not firing such as DragLeave DragEnter DragDrop DragOver CursorChanged GotFocus. i need to see if the label is over the picturebox b4 i allow the mouse up event from the label drag. this way i can return the label to its group box its not over the pbox. the label is set to drop in the same x,y location of the mouse up.

if i simply drag a label and use Cursor.Clip = Me.RectangleToScreen(New Rectangle(PictureBox1.Location, PictureBox1.Size)) the label wont go pase

Me.Cursor = New Cursor(Cursor.Current.Handle)
Cursor.Position = New Point(PictureBox1.Location.X - 10, PictureBox1.Location.Y - 10)
Cursor.Clip = New Rectangle(PictureBox1.Location, PictureBox1.Size)

this should work but does not
