Changing the size of the FillEllipse

I am writing my first windows forms program in C++ and I am suppose to be making a simple mouse draw program. But I am currently having trouble tagging a way to change the size of the radius of the Fill Ellipse to radio buttons.

I have tried to just work the same code I used in the movemouse event but I am getting errors that are saying the X and Y values are not members.

error C2039: 'X' : is not a member of 'System::EventArgs'

The code of the form is bellow.

I assume you refer to this event handler?

private: System::Void radioButton1_Click(System::Object^ sender, System::EventArgs^ e)
{
Graphics ^graphics = CreateGraphics();
graphics->FillEllipse(gcnew SolidBrush(Color::Crimson), e->X, e->Y, 4, 4);
}

The event args for this handler do not include any mouse details. Look at the mouse event handlers, they are passed MouseEventArgs that do contain X/Y coordinates, which is why that code works.

So I switched the event handler to a MouseClick which added those parameters I needed. But it is still not applying it to the mouse, all it is doing is putting sized dots in a corner.

private: System::Void radioButton1_MouseClick(System::Object^  sender, System::Windows::Forms::MouseEventArgs^  e) 
		 {
			 			 Graphics ^graphics = CreateGraphics();
graphics->FillEllipse(gcnew SolidBrush(Color::Crimson), e->X, e->Y, 4, 4);
		 }
private: System::Void radioButton2_MouseClick(System::Object^  sender, System::Windows::Forms::MouseEventArgs^  e) 
		 {
			 			 Graphics ^graphics = CreateGraphics();
graphics->FillEllipse(gcnew SolidBrush(Color::Crimson), e->X, e->Y, 6, 6);
		 }
private: System::Void radioButton3_MouseClick(System::Object^  sender, System::Windows::Forms::MouseEventArgs^  e) 
		 {
			 			 Graphics ^graphics = CreateGraphics();
graphics->FillEllipse(gcnew SolidBrush(Color::Crimson), e->X, e->Y, 8, 8);
		 }
}
;}

Arg! I'm still not able to get this to work, I looked over the Cursor.Position but I couldn't get it implemented properly.

>> I couldn't get it implemented properly.
Why not? If it was problems translating the X,Y coordinates, you might need to look at

Control..::.PointToClient Method

"Computes the location of the specified screen point into client coordinates."

I got it working with just a simple MousClick event on the radio buttons and then just using a variable in the events to change the font. XD
