Is there a way to make a form that has no border (FormBorderStyle is set to \"none\") movable when the mouse is clicked down on the form just as if there was a border?
Since some answers do not allow for child controls to be draggable, I've created a little helper class. It should be passed the top level form. Can be made more generic if desired.
class MouseDragger
{
private readonly Form _form;
private Point _mouseDown;
protected void OnMouseDown(object sender, MouseEventArgs e)
{
_mouseDown = e.Location;
}
protected void OnMouseMove(object sender, MouseEventArgs e)
{
if (e.Button == MouseButtons.Left)
{
int dx = e.Location.X - _mouseDown.X;
int dy = e.Location.Y - _mouseDown.Y;
_form.Location = new Point(_form.Location.X + dx, _form.Location.Y + dy);
}
}
public MouseDragger(Form form)
{
_form = form;
MakeDraggable(_form);
}
private void MakeDraggable(Control control)
{
var type = control.GetType();
if (typeof(Button).IsAssignableFrom(type))
{
return;
}
control.MouseDown += OnMouseDown;
control.MouseMove += OnMouseMove;
foreach (Control child in control.Controls)
{
MakeDraggable(child);
}
}
}
