Hi all,
I'm having a problem with a form position.
I need to prevent the user to drag the window. I tried to maximize the
window but i still can move the window.
I found something about override the WndProc method, but there are many
messages returned by the OS, and i don't know which messages should i
override. Maybe i'm working in a wrong way. I also tried with the style
borders and anything seems to work
If somebody can help me, i really appreciate that.
Regards.

this would prolly be sort of a hack but if you want the window maximized all
the time
just set the minimumsize of the form to the same size of there resolution on
load..
another idea..
the location event on the form might be something of value as well..

Tnx for your help,
I cannot set the minimun size of the application because it will run on
several machines and i cannot ensure that each machine will have the same
resolution screen.
Now i will work in the location event to see if i can get the desire
behavior.

Another issue that i forgot is that the problem is not maximize the form. I
need to prevent the user to drag the window as will. If it's maximized, i
think, it should be "locked" in the screen.
I don't think this is a kind of hack, i really believe this should be the
normal behavior of an application. For example, if you maximize an IE
window, you cannot drag it, the window is locked in the screen, that's what
i need and i don't know why this cannot be done in c# in a simple way(At
least i cannot figure it out)

another way might be: have a timer event check the position every second,
if moved/resized then move/resize it back

Tnx everybody,
I found a solution in another newsgroup, here's the code that i received.
This works great!!
[System.Runtime. InteropServices .StructLayout(S ystem.Runtime.I nteropServices.
LayoutKind.Sequ ential)]
private struct _WINDOWPOS
{
public IntPtr hwnd;
public IntPtr hwndInsertAfter ;
public int x;
public int y;
public int cx;
public int cy;
public uint flags;
}
private const int WM_WINDOWPOSCHA NGING = 0x0046;
private const int SWP_NOMOVE = 0x0002;
[System.Security .Permissions.Pe rmissionSet(Sys tem.Security.Pe rmissions.Secur
ityAction.Deman d, Name="FullTrust ")]
protected override void WndProc(ref Message m)
{
if (m.Msg == WM_WINDOWPOSCHA NGING)
{
_WINDOWPOS p = (_WINDOWPOS)m.G etLParam(typeof (_WINDOWPOS));
p.flags |= SWP_NOMOVE ;
System.Runtime. InteropServices .Marshal.Struct ureToPtr(p, m.LParam,
false);
m.Result = IntPtr.Zero;
}
else
base.WndProc(re f m);
}

I've got this strange problem :
When I press the left-button and move my mouse, my form moves just as
intended. But if I make big movements, the cursor shifts slightly. And
it ends with the mouse cursor completly out of the form, which is not
what I want, of course.

I'm looking for the simplest and cleanest way of having 10 buttons on
a form, on which if I move my mouse over, a label's text changes as
specified.
I'm using Visual Basic .NET and I'm not too familiar with its

The code below works fine but breaks if I click on Button1 a few times

If I move the mouse cursor over a control and stop moving I get a MouseHover
event.
If I then move the cursor while staying within the control and then stop
moving I do not get another MouseHover event.
To get a Mousehover I must leave and reenter the control.
I'd like to get an event each time the cursor stops moving.

Can someone tell me how I can move an object, in this case a listbox, over a

I have a form with a one panel docked to the left and a splitter

When I adjust the splitter (drag it to the right) I get an "External

Hello
I made a toolbox like thing by using a panel with a label docked on top.
I can move the toolbox by dragging on the label. I've coded it, VB6 style
and got no problem. Then I tried to use new VB.NET way and now I'm stuck.
If you examine Label1_MouseMove event you'll see both methods.
Can anybody fix it?
