Draging an image Control

Hi Menon,

If you want move an image/rectangle based on the users click, you need to store the co-ordinates of all objects in Rectangle arrays and whenever user is clicking on one of the objects, check whether the mouse pointer is in any of the objects placed on your form.

private void MainScreen_MouseUp(object sender, System.Windows.Forms.MouseEventArgs e)

{

if ( m_rectImage1.Contains ( e.X, e.Y ) == true ) // clicked on one of the images

{
// add your code here
// use a flag to identify which object is clicked
}

...
}

Then when the mouse button is released change the co-ordinates of your moved image and draw it with the new co-ordinates.

You can even do this whenever user is dragging the mouse.

Hope this helps.
