1st - i saw on a youtube video, a guy moving buttons/pictures in visual basic, while the project was running; it created and represented the idea of moving icons in windows desktop.

i want to do the same; anyone know something? code/links, something useful

2nd - this is about resizing the form:

-when i resize the form, i want the objects of that form, to adapt and resize to the new size of the form; it supposed they adjust automatically with the resizing of the form; please tell me how i can do that.

-when i put the form windowstate maximized, the form appears maximized of course, but the object dont lool proporcionally and it the right place;for example i put a button in the bottom left corner, but when the project loads, that object appears in center left. is there anyway to do that without having to coding coordinates;


thanks, and sorry for the long text and the english

Perhaps by anchoring the elements to the sides of the form? I don't know Visual Basic, but in Visual C++, that's what I would do.

I suppose it's slightly out of my field.

Take a look into the Dock property. You can place your items by using splitcontainers and panel, and docking your controls into them.

To answer your first question you'll probably want to use the MouseDown event on the object you want to move.

So if you want to move a command button for example then you would do something like this:

This is a really rough example so sorry

Private Sub Button1_MouseDown()

        button1.capture = false

        Dim sndmsg As Message = Message.Create(TextBox1.Handle, &HA1, New IntPtr(2), IntPtr.Zero)

        me.defwndproc(sndmsg)

End Sub

THANKS

this works fine but the click event dont work with this, i cant understand why, it only works if i put the code in the mousedown event, and i dont wont that.

please help, it's not th first time that my clickevent dont work

What you could do is put this in the MouseMove event. Then I think MouseMove has a property to say if a mouse button is clicked. It might be Button or something, not sure of the top of my head.

worked PERFECT , in the mousemove event

THANKS THANKS.
