raise mouse event on timer?

I made a game with a window form that needs to record the mouse
position to an array at 100 samples per second, so I use the mouse
move event to do the job.

The problem is the mouse move event is raised by my software at max 30
times per second. I have determined I should use a timer event on
every 10 msec to raise the mouse event, but then I need the same mouse
event that is sent to the mouse move function in the mouse move event

how do I get that event in my timer?

Why not use Cursor.Position inside the timer to the the screen
coordinates? This seems more efficient than calling the mousemover
event that often.

I can't use screen coordinate because I'm tracking positions images in
the form in relation to the mouse position.... unless there is a way
to convert form coordinates to screen coordinates.

Please advise
