SendMessage: Move Object on X position only

Hello,

Trying to move an object inside Picturebox borders.

I've tried a few methods, with get/setcapture etc.. the following works best only if I could limit the dragging to the X position of the mouse?

Code:

---

ReleaseCapture
SendMessage picDraw.hwnd, &H112, &HF012&, 0

---

Is there a way to intervene and set the x/y pos?

I don't think you can override that unless you also subclass the control. But there's a very easy solution.

Code:

---

Option Explicit

Dim m_DragX As Single
Dim m_Dragging As Boolean

Private Sub picDraw_MouseDown(Button As Integer, Shift As Integer, X As Single, Y As Single)
    If Button = vbLeftButton Then
        m_Dragging = True
        m_DragX = X
    End If
End Sub

Private Sub picDraw_MouseMove(Button As Integer, Shift As Integer, X As Single, Y As Single)
    If m_Dragging Then picDraw.Left = (picDraw.Left - m_DragX) + X
End Sub

Private Sub picDraw_MouseUp(Button As Integer, Shift As Integer, X As Single, Y As Single)
    m_Dragging = False
End Sub
