Move Controls With Mouse.

Hello Friends,
Here is a very simple procedure to move controls runtime. it is useful when we need to move a control while application is running. Control.MouseDown and Control.MouseMove are used to do this work done. And Controls will be movable runtime as smooth as it can be moved at design time.

To have this done, start a new project with VB
Project name by default will be WindowsApplication1
Now Create few controls from tool bar
Button1, TextBox1, ComboBox1, PictureBox1

and write code as below.


Public Class Form1

Dim cordinates As Point

Private Sub Control_MouseDown(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As MouseEventArgs) Handles PictureBox1.MouseDown, Button1.MouseDown, ComboBox1.MouseDown, TextBox1.MouseDown

cordinates = New Point(-e.X, -e.Y)

End Sub

Private Sub Control_MouseMove(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As MouseEventArgs) Handles PictureBox1.MouseMove, Button1.MouseMove, ComboBox1.MouseMove, TextBox1.MouseMove

If e.Button = Windows.Forms.MouseButtons.Left Then
Dim ControlPosition As Point = Me.PointToClient(MousePosition)
ControlPosition.Offset(cordinates.X, cordinates.Y)
sender.Location = ControlPosition
End If
End Sub

End Class


Now run the application. and you can move controls while application is running.
