Hey All,

I have re made the tutorial Move Form With Mouse Drag, so that it works in Visual Studio 2015.

Code: Select all

Public Class frmMain
 
    Public BeingDragged As Boolean = False
    Public MouseDownX As Integer
    Public MouseDownY As Integer
 
    Private Sub frmMain_MouseDown(sender As Object, e As MouseEventArgs) Handles Me.MouseDown
        If e.Button = MouseButtons.Left Then
            BeingDragged = True
            MouseDownX = e.X
            MouseDownY = e.Y
        End If
    End Sub
 
    Private Sub frmMain_MouseMove(sender As Object, e As MouseEventArgs) Handles Me.MouseMove
        If BeingDragged = True Then
            Dim tmp As Point = New Point()
 
            tmp.X = Me.Location.X + (e.X - MouseDownX)
            tmp.Y = Me.Location.Y + (e.Y - MouseDownY)
            Me.Location = tmp
            tmp = Nothing
        End If
    End Sub
 
    Private Sub frmMain_MouseUp(sender As Object, e As MouseEventArgs) Handles Me.MouseUp
        If e.Button = MouseButtons.Left Then
            BeingDragged = False
        End If
    End Sub
 
End Class

This can easily be modified to use on controls within the form, so you can move around controls at run time by moving the mouse.

If you want any help feel free to ask.

Please +rep if you liked the tutorial.
