Text Box Dragging

Ihave this code so when you press a button it generates a text box

Code:

---

  Dim txt As New TextBox
        txt.AllowDrop = True
        txt.Multiline = True
        Me.Controls.Add(txt)

---

But i wanted to ad vb script to the text box what property would i do that with?

i don't understand the question...
can you explain exactly what you're trying to do?

I have a button that creates a text box but i want it to create a drag gable text box. How would id do that?

My visual basic 2010 was not abel to open it.

ok. different method:

vb Code:

Public Class Form1
 
    Private Sub Button1_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Button1.Click
        Dim tb As New TextBox
        Me.Controls.Add(tb)
        AddHandler tb.MouseMove, AddressOf tb_MouseMove
    End Sub
 
    Private Const WM_NCLBUTTONDOWN As Integer = &HA1
    Private Const HTCAPTION As Integer = 2
 
    Private Sub tb_MouseMove(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As MouseEventArgs)
        Dim tb As TextBox = DirectCast(sender, TextBox)
        tb.Capture = False
        Dim m As Message = Message.Create(tb.Handle, WM_NCLBUTTONDOWN, New IntPtr(HTCAPTION), IntPtr.Zero)
        MyBase.DefWndProc(m)
    End Sub
 
End Class

Thanks Dude:thumb:

I also tried doing it with a rich text box but it is not moving

Code:

---

      Private Sub ToolStripButton3_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles ToolStripButton3.Click
        Dim tb1 As New RichTextBox
        Me.Controls.Add(tb1)
        AddHandler tb1.MouseMove, AddressOf tb1_MouseMove
    End Sub

    Private Const WM_NCLBUTTONDOWN1 As Integer = &HA1
    Private Const HTCAPTION1 As Integer = 21

    Private Sub tb1_MouseMove(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As MouseEventArgs)
        Dim tb1 As RichTextBox = DirectCast(sender, RichTextBox)
        tb1.Capture = False
        Dim m1 As Message = Message.Create(tb1.Handle, WM_NCLBUTTONDOWN1, New IntPtr(HTCAPTION1), IntPtr.Zero)
        MyBase.DefWndProc(m1)




    End Sub

HTCAPTION1 should be 2, not 21
