How do you move items in visual basic

Question

I actually have to questions related to the same subject. First, I would like to know how to drag and drop items from a toolbox, for example, and onto a control coded to accept them.

My second question is how could I move a form, with the mouse, that is completely customised.

Thanks!

Hello Developer911,

Take a look at the following link for drag and drop:

What do you mean by "how could I move a form, with the mouse, that is completely customised"?  Are you saying there is no longer a TitleBar on your Form?  If so, all you need to do is use this API:

    Const WM_NCHITTEST As Integer = &H84
    Const HTCLIENT As Integer = &H1
    Const HTCAPTION As Integer = &H2
    Protected Overrides Sub WndProc(ByRef m As System.Windows.Forms.Message)
        Select Case m.Msg
            Case WM_NCHITTEST
                MyBase.WndProc(m)
                If m.Result = HTCLIENT Then m.Result = HTCAPTION
            Case Else
                'Make sure you pass unhandled messages back to the default message handler.  
                MyBase.WndProc(m)
        End Select
    End Sub

Best regards,
