Y-Axis problem

Hi Everyone:
I'm playing around with a GDI+ application using VB.NET. I have written a
small Windows application that will allow me to place a rectangle at the
screen's origin (top-left corner of the screen). After the rectangle is
placed I can point to it with my mouse and by holding down the left button
move the selected rectangle elsewhere on the screen.

This only works when the Y-Axis' location is at the top-left hand corner. I
used a matrix transformation to reset the Y-Axis' origin to the bottom left
hand corner. This time when I draw a rectangle it is placed at the
bottom-left hand corner, but when I place my mouse on the rectangle located
at the bottom-left hand side it will not highlight saying this rectangle has
been selected.

The strange thing is: If I move the mouse back to the top-left corner where
the default origin is the rectangle at the botton-left corner will highlight
and when I press the left mouse button and move the mouse down the selected
rectangle moves up. This is not how I want it to work. I have the project if
anyone needs it to see exactly want is happening.

Do you know how to do this? The Graphics Transformations apply only to
graphical objects. The screen Coordinates are part of the
System.Windows.Forms.MouseEventArgs class.

Here is my hittest code:
Public Overridable Function HitTest(ByVal p As Point) As Boolean
'Default behavior
Return New Rectangle(_location, _size).Contains(p)
End Function
