Visual Basic 2008 Check if label is inside a panel - vb.net

Question

So i've been trying to make a game with arrow keys.
The label is the character, if the label is inside the object, it will do something...
But i got a very hard problem i cannot find on the internet.
How do i check if a label is inside of an object? Example: Picture box, and Panel.
I've tried this one.
Private Sub Timer1_Tick(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Timer1.Tick
If Label1.Location.X = Panel1.Location.X And Label1.Location.Y = Panel1.Location.Y Then
Me.Close() 'Any code.
End If
End Sub
Doesn't work,
any help would be appreciated.
I am a beginner by the way, i only make simple applications. Like escape the room, maze... etc.

I would use the label's parent property to see if it is inside the panel.
Private Sub Timer1_Tick(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Timer1.Tick
If Label1.Parent IsNot Nothing AndAlso Label1.Parent Is Panel1 Then
Me.Close() 'Any code.
End If
End Sub
If you are looking to see if the Label is over the Panel I would try something like this. The ClientRectangle property is the rectangle the control takes up. I am assuming the panel is bigger than the Label.
Private Sub Timer1_Tick(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Timer1.Tick
If Panel1.ClientRectangle.Contains(Label1.ClientRectangle) Then
Me.Close() 'Any code.
End If
End Sub
If it is smaller you can check if a point is in the Panel's rectangle. For example top left corner
Private Sub Timer1_Tick(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Timer1.Tick
If Panel1.ClientRectangle.Contains(new Point(Label1.Left, Label1.Top)) Then
Me.Close() 'Any code.
End If
End Sub
