You need at least one mouse click event to select the image so it moves with the cursor.

You can then write a simple set of instructions that sets the position of the image in your form to be the same as the cursor's position until a second click.

You can use the System.Drawing namespace in VB.NET to manipulate images.

You toggle the visibility property of the image to false, and check the position of the cursor / image in the form so that it does not exceed the boundaries of your square; that is most easily accomplished by using the Point property.
