Resizing and Repositioning Control on a Windows Form at runtime(.Net)-Collection of common programming errors

Hi

Is it possible to resize, repositioning controls like (TextBox, Label, ….) during runtime on window Forms in (DotNet). How to proceed with this.

Thanks

void textBox1_MouseMove(object sender, System.Windows.Forms.MouseEventArgs e)

{

if(e.Button == MouseButtons.Left)

{

//Get current X and Y int x = e.X;int y =e.Y;//get deltax and deltay

textBox1.Left += (x-deltaX);

textBox1.Top += (y-deltaY);

}

}

private void textBox1_MouseDown(object sender, System.Windows.Forms.MouseEventArgs e)

{

deltaX = e.X;

deltaY = e.Y;

}

i will give a scenario, while at run time is it possible to drag a control (TextBox, label…) to another position, and also resize them.

private

void textBox1_MouseMove(object sender, System.Windows.Forms.MouseEventArgs e)

{

if(e.Button == MouseButtons.Left)

{

//Get current X and Y int x = e.X;int y =e.Y;//get deltax and deltay

textBox1.Left += (x-deltaX);

textBox1.Top += (y-deltaY);

}

}

private void textBox1_MouseDown(object sender, System.Windows.Forms.MouseEventArgs e)

{

deltaX = e.X;

deltaY = e.Y;

}

Thankyou.. Now iam able to move the textbox to another location at runtime, but is it possible to resize it during runtime

thanks in advance

You can-

private

void textBox1_MouseMove(object sender, System.Windows.Forms.MouseEventArgs e)

{

if(e.Button == MouseButtons.Left)

{

//Get current X and Y int x = e.X;int y =e.Y;//get deltax and deltay

textBox1.Left += (x-deltaX);

textBox1.Top += (y-deltaY);

textBox1.Height += y-deltaY;

textBox1.Width += x-deltaX;

}

}

This is some skeleton code,which I hope will get you going!!

sorry for delayed reply. Actually resize i was looking is different. i mean it should be like how it behaves in design time. (ie) in design time u will select a textbox and on the rightbottom u will select and resize it, the same behaviour is expected in the runtime also for controls.

example:

    ControlMoverOrResizer.Init(button1);   

and now button1 is a movable and resizable control!
