I posted this message previously and I thought the suggestion I recieved solved my problem. Although after using the API function to drag a control with a handle, I realize now that this API function (Capture/Release) isn't suited to do what I want.

I plan on creating up to 300 bitmap images on a form and will be attempting to provide drag & drop functionality for each bitmap image. Can the mouse detect it's on a bitmap image and drag it? Does it have to reside in a picture box because of its handle and its mouse-click detection. This which would not be practical in this case as I'm builting many bitmaps. Can I make it a clickable "bitmap" object, somehow. I appreciate the initial response, but I've discovered it wouldn't do the trick. Thanks in advance.
