how can i drag/drop a label with the use of an image.

[neit]

hi every one, i'm new at this things in programing (visual basic 6.0).

And i was wondering if i can make an image grab or attach a label to move it around and place it in another place, with the use of an image, i've tried with the mouse drag/drop and works fine. thanks in advance =).

Hello, neit!

Are you hoping to move labels or snapshots at run time? If so, I am not certain, but it does not seem to be possible. Even though a programmer does not lock the controls, at run time, VB keep us from moving stuff around. That's what I think is happening.

If you are hoping to move labels or snapsots in design mode, just make sure your controls are not locked:

(1) Go to Format, with your form showing
(2) Choose Lock Controls

Note: If button is in Form is therefore locked.

Have fun and welcome!

I'm afraid it is not really clear just what you want to achieve, though it's obviously related to drag and drop. Please try to explain a little more clearly, for those of us who are a bit slow. :)

(Have you checked out the DragIcon property?)

This just in. I snooped around and found vbBeginDrag perhaps this can get you started. Starts up straight away though, perhaps you should look into DragIcon examples...

To move Label-control around a form with your mouse try this:

1. Put Label on a form.
2. Paste code below and run your project.

Private Sub Label1_MouseMove(Button As Integer, Shift As Integer, X As Single, Y As Single)
    If Button = vbLeftButton Then
        Label1.Left = Label1.Left + X
        Label1.Top = Label1.Top + Y
    End If
End Sub

3. Try to move label with your mouse.

Good Luck.

I believe the original question was not so much about dragging, as the use (in some way) of an image.

The answer was not to original question..... :)

DragIcon property is a correct answer.... LOL

Perhaps. We won't know whether it's the correct answer unless neit privdes us some feedback.

Thanks every one for your your replies, but as you know i am a piece of amateur in VB programing, thanks everyone =)

how can i insert an image, so you can see my proyect form? please tell me

The thing that i need, better i should say; the thing i want to do in my proyect is: with the use of an image to be able to "grab" a label, and place it in another label, so i can get the value of the label (right now i'm using "val()" ); i can drag/drop the label into another label by using the property "dragmode-->automatic" with the mouse and with the code

'example
label4.caption=source
 

that way i can get the value of the other label, but because of my lack of knowledge i can't do it the way i want using an image as some kind of " human hand taking a box and place it somewhere else"

i hope you understand me O_o =( thanks everyone

Look how to do it in VB6. Just change Text1.DragIcon property to some *.ico file you like.

I am not sure thou if you can do the same with a label.
Label doesn’t have interactive interface and doesn’t have OleDropeMode Automatic.
To work around it you can make TextBox look like a label.

Try this:

Private Sub Form_Load()
Text1.Appearance = 0
Text1.Locked = True
Text1.BorderStyle = 0
Text1.BackColor = Me.BackColor
Text1.TabStop = False
End Sub
 
 
 
Private Sub Text1_GotFocus()
Text2.SetFocus
End Sub

Good Luck.
