hi, i'm new in this forum and i need help

i created a button in a vb form, and a make a simple code when pressing keys; like: when i press A , the button moves the left; when I press W the button moves up. like that, up, down, left and right. it works fine, i can move the button all around the form.

but the button also moves beyond the form borders. HOW I CAN I PREVENT THAT. if the buttons reach a border, it will stop move.

if you know anything please help. i'm using visual basic 2010

sorry for my english !!

Hi, paulo. Im no expert with VB, but you should be able to use a if statement, something to the effect of:

if button1.Location.X >= 1 Then
//Move button code here
ElseIf button1.Location.X <= 0 Then
button1.Location.X = 0
EndIf

Im not sure that syntax is working, but you probably get it. You would place that in your key event, then do the same for the other sides of you form.

Hope you understand. ~ Committed. :)
