Moving a form with mouse-down on a picture control

[VBWheaties]

In vb.net, I want to allow a user to click and drag a form like what is supported when you click and drag a moveable forms title bar: you click and hold titlebar, then move the mouse, the form moves with the mouse. Ide like to be able to do this but with an area on the form.

For example, I have a picturebox on the form. When the mouse is down on the picture and they move the mouse, I would like the form to move with it.

Any idea how this can be done?

Hi,

The whole form can be moved by clicking on any location other than the title bar using the code in the below given link.This example considers that there is no border for the form.That case can be ignored.

Thanks for the link.
I could not get it to work. More specifically, the set to the property of the m.result does not do anything.
I'll keep playing with it until it works.
I'm sure i'll be able to do something with it.
Thanks again

btw, here is the code (*converted from C# to VB):

    Protected Overrides Sub WndProc(ByRef m As Message)
        ' Let the base class have first crack
        MyBase.WndProc(m)
        Dim WM_NCHITTEST As Integer = 132 ' winuser.h
        ' If the user clicked on the client area,
        ' ask the OS to treat it as a click on the caption
        If m.Msg <> WM_NCHITTEST Then
            Return
        End If
        Dim HTCLIENT As Integer = 1
        Dim HTCAPTION As Integer = 2
        If m.Result.ToInt32() = HTCLIENT Then
            m.Result = CType(HTCAPTION, IntPtr)
        End If
    End Sub
