You have a borderless form in a Windows Forms application and you want to make it moveable by being able to click on it and drag it. By default, borderless forms cannot be moved without intervention since most Windows require that you click on the title bar (which is hidden in this case). With a few Windows API’s we can make this happen. In this example, I just created a stock Windows application project, changed the “FormBorderStyle” property to none and then put the following code into my form:
Imports System.Runtime.InteropServices Public Class Form1 Public Const WM_NCLBUTTONDOWN As Integer = &HA1 Public Const HT_CAPTION As Integer = &H2 <DllImportAttribute("user32.dll")> _ Public Shared Function SendMessage(hWnd As IntPtr, Msg As Integer, wParam As Integer, lParam As Integer) As Integer End Function <DllImportAttribute("user32.dll")> _ Public Shared Function ReleaseCapture() As Boolean End Function Private Sub Form1_MouseDown(sender As Object, e As System.Windows.Forms.MouseEventArgs) Handles Me.MouseDown If e.Button = MouseButtons.Left Then ReleaseCapture() SendMessage(Handle, WM_NCLBUTTONDOWN, HT_CAPTION, 0) End If End Sub End Class
