i can't move my form...pls help

atillaselem

i have a form app and i put a background image on my form. then set the TransparencyKey to white and select 'None' for FormBorderStyle in order to see a transparent view when app starts.
Everything seems Ok, But my problem is that i can't move my transparent form anywhere. What should i do to move my form without a border?

Any help will be appreciated...
Thanks,

:If I read your message right I have what you need .
:
:Put this inside of your Form class:
:
public const int HTCAPTION = 0x2;
public const int WM_NCLBUTTONDOWN = 0xA1;

[DllImportAttribute ("user32.dll")]
public static extern int SendMessage(IntPtr hWnd, int Msg, int wParam, int lParam);

[DllImportAttribute ("user32.dll")]
public static extern bool ReleaseCapture();

:Then put this in the MouseDown event of your form:
:
ReleaseCapture();
SendMessage(Handle, WM_NCLBUTTONDOWN, HTCAPTION, 0);
:
:
:Now your set! There is another way of doing this without the API calls
:look at this artcle to see how:
