Can someone tell me how I can move an object, in this case a listbox, over a
form. The code below works, but not when the form is custom sized. It works
perfectly when the form is maximized. And what is the best way to give the
object boundries to move within?
Hope someone can help me.
TIA,
Arjan.
/*Begin Code*/
/*Source: MSDN*/
void ListBox1MouseDo wn(object sender, System.Windows. Forms.MouseEven tArgs e)
{
int xOffset;
int yOffset;
if(e.Button == MouseButtons.Le ft)
{
xOffset = -e.X - SystemInformati on.FrameBorderS ize.Width;
yOffset = -e.Y - SystemInformati on.CaptionHeigh t -
SystemInformati on.FrameBorderS ize.Height;
mouseOffset = new Point(xOffset, yOffset);
isMouseDown = true;
}
}
void ListBox1MouseMo ve(object sender, System.Windows. Forms.MouseEven tArgs e)
{
if (isMouseDown)
{
Point mousePos = Control.MousePo sition;
mousePos.Offset (mouseOffset.X, mouseOffset.Y);
listBox1.Locati on = mousePos;
}
}
void ListBox1MouseUp (object sender, System.Windows. Forms.MouseEven tArgs e)
{
isMouseDown = false;
}

AM,
If I were you I would derive a new class from list box and in this new class
I would override WndProc and process WM_NCHITTEST message to return
HTCAPTION. This way the windows will handle all the moving of the cotnrol.
Here is basically how the WndProc can be written:
private const int WM_NCHITTEST = 0x84;
private const int HTCAPTION = 0x2;
private const int HTCLIENT = 0x1;
protected override void WndProc(ref Message m)
{
base.WndProc (ref m);
if(m.Msg == WM_NCHITTEST && m.Result == new IntPtr(HTCLIENT ))
{
m.Result = new IntPtr(HTCAPTIO N);
}

Hi,
You should check the current position of the mouse and make sure it's inside
the boundary you want.
You should probably need to change from SystemInformati on.FrameBorderS ize
to another way to get the origin point

That's what I tried, but everytime I move the object I get the same result.
The boundries is something I won't have much problems with. But that other
part is causing me a headache.

hi, I know this is a much-travelled subject, but I was wondering what
people's thoughts were on the bare minimum (and conversely the grand
scheme) for augmenting standard memory references to handle moving
objects around in memory (as is needed in compaction algorithms
associated with 'moving collection' aka 'copy collection').
There are a number of ways to handle this without affecting the
overarching structure of one's program (albeit...

Hello everybody.
I've this problem: I'm making a jpg moving horizontally from left to right in my page. I'd like to make it start moving from the left off-screen side. I tried using position negative values either defining the <style> of the img object or in the Javascript function that produces the image movement, but it doesn't work. The starting point from the images is always on screen.
Anybody can turn on the light??
Thanks!
