Sample Code:
Please add some!
I use the ReleaseCapture() function to provide drag functionality. for example the following code will allow the user to drag a control around a form : (skipping all declares)
private void control_MouseDown(object sender, MouseEventArgs e)
{
Control ctrl = sender as Control;
ReleaseCapture(ctrl.Handle);
int nul =0;
SendMessage(ctrl.Handle, WM_SYSCOMMAND, MOUSE_MOVE, ref nul);
}
