transmit mouse events to the parent form / Control.Move Event - Bug?

1 New Member
Hi all

I have two problems:

Problem #1:

I'm using a .NET Form with the property 'FormBorderStyl e' set to 'None'. The idea is to completely cover the area of that Form with a UserControl. In order to be able to move that Form around with the mouse I have to implement EventHandlers for the MouseDown, MouseUp and MouseMove event.
Now the problem I have is these Events will never be fired because the entire dialog is covered by the UserControl. First I thought I could simply transmit the Events fired by the UserControl to the Form but the problem is: The UserControl itself consists of other controls that completely cover the area of the UserControl. Is there no other way than to write EventHandlers for these three (MouseDown, MouseUp, MouseMove) Events for every control of the UserControl and then again write EventHandlers for these Events in the Form? Or is there a property or something that automatically transmits these Events to the parent Form?

Problem #2:

This Form shall always be displayed in the center of a second (Application / Main Form) Form. For this I attach an EventHandler to the Resize Event of the Main Form. This works fine, the position of my Form is always adapted if the Main Form is resized. The Problem starts when I move the Main Form with the mouse. My Form does not ALWAYS move to the correct location although I have an EventHandler that listens to the Form.Move Event. I realized that the Move Event does not get fired correctly, sometimes it is fired and sometimes it is not. Is this a know problem / .Net Framework bug or do I misunderstand something?

Thanks for the help and regards

I am migrating a VB 6 PictureBox control to VB.NET. In VB 6, this control modified its border style during the mouse down and up events to provide user feedback that it was selected. Once selected its position was adjusted in accordance with the mouse move events. After migrating it to VB.NET I tried setting the PictureBox class's BorderStyle to Fixed3D or FixedSingle during the Mouse Down event. However, doing so seems to prevent...

I need to be able to move a Panel on a windows Form at run time using the mouse. I have tried adding a MouseDown event handler to the Panel and then within the MouseDown handler adding a MouseMove event to the Panel and then setting the Panel's Location to a new Point(x, y) with x and y set to the mouse's x and y, but this does not work because the MouseDown event of Panel only sends the cords of the mouse within that Panel. I need to be...

I need to be able to detect mouse movement even when it is not over my application. I can get the mouse cords using MousePosition but I am not sure if there is an event that hits my program when the mouse is not over my program. One idea i had was make a child form that was transparent and use the MouseMove event to keep that transparent window under the mouse but the transparent window did not catch the MouseMove event. I also tried...

Hello folks, I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".

Overview: Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
