Many times I have seen that many programmer creates designable hearder for their windows forms but then donsen't have the fesility of moving like predifined windows forms, but after reading this article this is simple to create a .dll form header movable.

You can create any control movable on the form by this code…

Okay lets start to do this___

First step

First you have to create a Header by Windows Control Library in Visual Studio / any version.

After creating header just use this in your windows project as a usercontrol from toolbox after importing.

Coding

Here is the code in C#

using System;

using System.Collections.Generic;

using System.ComponentModel;

using System.Data;

using System.Drawing;

using System.Text;

using System.Windows.Forms;

namespace Movable_Form

{

public partial class Form1 : Form

{

public int diff_x;

public int diff_y;

public bool mouse_down = false;

public Form1()

{

InitializeComponent();

}

private void Form1_MouseDown(object sender, MouseEventArgs e)

{

diff_x = Form.MousePosition.X - Form.ActiveForm.Location.X;

diff_y = Form.MousePosition.Y - Form.ActiveForm.Location.Y;

mouse_down = true;

}

private void Form1_MouseUp(object sender, MouseEventArgs e)

{

mouse_down = false;

}

private void button1_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)

{

Dispose();

this.Close();

}

private void Form1_MouseMove(object sender, MouseEventArgs e)

{

if (mouse_down == true)

{

Point p = new Point(MousePosition.X - diff_x, MousePosition.Y - diff_y);

Form.ActiveForm.Location = p;

}

}

private void pictureBox1_MouseDown(object sender, MouseEventArgs e)

{

diff_x = Form.MousePosition.X - Form.ActiveForm.Location.X;

diff_y = Form.MousePosition.Y - Form.ActiveForm.Location.Y;

mouse_down = true;

}

private void pictureBox1_MouseMove(object sender, MouseEventArgs e)

{

if (mouse_down == true)

{

Point p = new Point(MousePosition.X - diff_x, MousePosition.Y - diff_y);

Form.ActiveForm.Location = p;

}

}

private void pictureBox1_MouseUp(object sender, MouseEventArgs e)

{

mouse_down = false;

}

}

}


Now here you are seeing this form header is different and also movable
