How to check position of picturebox

Hey guys, I'm developping a ball in cup game where the user has to guess under what cup the ball is located.

I've used the following code segment to animate the cups:

cupone.Location = new System.Drawing.Point(13, 120);

As you know, this statement draws the picturebox at the specified field. Now, I want to write an if statement that checks if the ball is at the proper location. For instance, this is where I put the ball:

ball.Location = new System.Drawing.Point(26, 156);

if (ball.Location = System.Drawing.Point (26, 156)) .. so on.. but I get an error that says:

Error 2 'System.Drawing.Region' is a 'type', which is not valid in the given context

How would I proceed to write an if statement check to see if a picturebox is in a certain location?

Thanks guys, much appreciated!

Look at the location test; you are using an assignment operator; it should be == instead of =:

(this works)

if (ball.Location == new System.Drawing.Point(26, 156))

{

MessageBox.Show("Match");

}

else

{

MessageBox.Show("No Match");

}
