Drag form w/out controlbox

[Ryan Joseph So]

Hi,
I have a form which the formborderstyle was set to none hiding the
controlbox. My problem is I can't reposition the form on the screen by
using my mouse when I run the application because it has no controlbox.
Is it possible to drag the form to other location on the screen without
the controlbox? How? Thanks in advance.

Ryan.

Hi,

I use this code:

private Point mouseOffset;
private bool isMouseDown = false;

private void frm_MouseDown(object sender,
System.Windows.Forms.MouseEventArgs e)
{
int xOffset;
int yOffset;
if (e.Button == MouseButtons.Left)
{
xOffset = -e.X - SystemInformation.FrameBorderSize.Width;
yOffset = -e.Y -
SystemInformation.CaptionHeight -SystemInformation.FrameBorderSize.Height;

mouseOffset = new Point(xOffset, yOffset);
isMouseDown = true;
}
}
private void frm_MouseMove(object sender,
System.Windows.Forms.MouseEventArgs e)
{
if (isMouseDown)
{
Point mousePos = Control.MousePosition;
mousePos.Offset(mouseOffset.X, mouseOffset.Y);
Location = mousePos;
}
}

private void FrmGlavna_MouseUp(object sender,
System.Windows.Forms.MouseEventArgs e)
{
if (e.Button == MouseButtons.Left)
{
isMouseDown = false;
}
}
