Drag and drop a control

[anujithsankar]

Hi All,

Is it possible to drag a control and move to a desired location on the
form. I have developed an user control and would like to give the user
to arrange the user controls according to his wish during run time. I
can find code where data is dragged and dropped to a target. But in
this case, there will be no target. The user can drag the control and
place anywhere on the form (GUI).

Application is to be developed on VB.NET 2003.

Thanks in Advance,

Boss

Also, if the OP is interested in allowing the user to resize his
movable controls the following should help (shameless!):
