Hi
I've discovered a bizarre Windows Forms (VB.NET) behavior that is
resulting in a Form not being able to be moved. To reproduce this:
1) Create yourself a new Windows Application in Visual Studio 2005.
2) A project will be created with one Form (Form 1). Don't add any
code to the project.
3) Run the project and confirm that Form 1 is displayed and you can
drag the Form around your screen by clicking and dragging the Form's
title bar, ie; standard Windows application behaviour.
4) Now add the following code to Form 1:
Private Sub Form1_MouseDown (ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As
System.Windows. Forms.MouseEven tArgs) Handles Me.MouseDown
Beep()
End Sub
5) Now run the project again.
You will find that
a) If you click the empty client area of the Form your PC will beep as
you would expect.
b) If you click Form 1's Title Bar or attempt to drag the Form the
application will lock and you can't access the Minimise, Maximise or
Close buttons on the Title Bar. The Form seems to lock for about 30 -
45 secs on my PC.
I discovered this issue in my main project and can't resolve it. It
seems that as soon as you declare a MouseDown event handler this
problem will arise.
Anyone got any ideas about why this happening?

Peter,
I cannot duplicate the problem. I was able to move the app by
dragging the title bar as well as click the client area to hear the
beep.

Thanks for trying this but I'm a little stumped now. I'm using the
same version of Visual Studio and the .NET Framework as you. I'll try
running the compiled application on another PC and see if the
behaviour is the same.

Unfortunately, I have a web-browser contol on the form and the
webbrowser does not include a KeyPress event.

over Button2, and don't release it, in the IDE output window it prints

It appears the WinForm MouseDown and MouseUp event handlers are not
working properly. In the "bare bones" sample application below,
Form1_MouseUp gets called even through the mouse button remains
pressed while dragging the Form window to resize it.
Can this "problem" be explained as some sort of by-design behavior? If
so what is the work around to detecting when a user has completed
resizing a Windows Form by way of mouse drag?

I have a form listview and have used the MouseDown event to launch a
modal dialog if a particular cell is clicked.
This works fine but upon closing the dialog I am left with a dotted
rectangle drawn between where the original click was and where I
clicked to close the dialog. Until another mouse click occurs this
rectangle resizes as you move the mouse. I guess this is because the
MouseUp event hasn't fired yet (or fired on the modal...

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,...
