Private panel1 As New Panel() Private canMove As Boolean Private currentPosition As Point Public Sub New() Me.Controls.Add(panel1) panel1.Dock = DockStyle.Top panel1.BackColor = Color.Black Me.FormBorderStyle = FormBorderStyle.None AddHandler panel1.MouseDown, AddressOf panel1_MouseDown AddHandler panel1.MouseUp, AddressOf panel1_MouseUp AddHandler panel1.MouseMove, AddressOf panel1_MouseMove End Sub Private Sub panel1_MouseMove(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As MouseEventArgs) If canMove Then Dim newPosition As Point = Control.MousePosition newPosition.X = newPosition.X - currentPosition.X newPosition.Y = newPosition.Y - currentPosition.Y Me.Location = newPosition End If End Sub Private Sub panel1_MouseUp(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As MouseEventArgs) canMove = False End Sub Private Sub panel1_MouseDown(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As MouseEventArgs) canMove = True currentPosition.X = e.X currentPosition.Y = e.Y End Sub
