Moveable...? [Resolved]

Is there a way to make a form unmoveable in .NET?

:)

Code:

---

    Protected Overrides Sub OnResize(ByVal e As System.EventArgs)
        Form1.ActiveForm.Width = 200
        Form1.ActiveForm.Height = 200
    End Sub

---

You can do it this way but there probably is a better way.

I was hoping for a more unflickery way (provided you really meant to use OnMove, otherwise I have no idea where you are going). I could set the borderstyle to None, but I would rather not. Thanks anyway.

VB6 is easy. Moveable = False at design time ;).

The only other way I know to do it is to remove the Move option from the system menu of the form. Anybody want to point in the right direction?

I'd rather work the actual code out for myself, seeing as how I'm trying to get used to all this .NET malarky. Just a nice push will do.

well , you have either use this flickry code or to to make your
form's border style to none and create your own titlebar.

VB Code:

Dim LastLocation As Point
 
    Private Sub Form1_MouseDown(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As _
       System.Windows.Forms.MouseEventArgs) Handles MyBase.MouseDown
 
        If e.Button = MouseButtons.Left Then
            LastLocation = Me.Location
        End If
    End Sub
 
Private Sub Form1_Move(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As _
       System.EventArgs) Handles MyBase.Move
        Me.Location = LastLocation
End Sub

Well, that sucks. But if I must, then I must.

:)

I know it's silly:D but If you could overcome that flickring , it would be great .

Well, I hacked it a bit. I overrode the WndProc method of the form and checked for a left mouse down message on the titlebar. If I get it, then I cancel the message.

can you post your code anyways ?:)

Sure...

Code:

---

Private Const WM_NCLBUTTONDOWN = &HA1
Private Const HTCAPTION = 2


Protected Overrides Sub WndProc(ByRef m As System.Windows.Forms.Message)
    Dim i As IntPtr = New IntPtr(0)
    Dim cap As IntPtr = New IntPtr(HTCAPTION)

    If (m.Msg.Equals(WM_NCLBUTTONDOWN)) And (m.WParam.Equals(cap)) Then
        m.Result = i
        Exit Sub
    End If

    MyBase.WndProc(m)
End Sub

It could probably stand to be cleaned up a little, but it works.
