    Can't move forms in design mode

    In VB6 I could drag my forms around the design window just like you do with compiled windows forms. But in VB.net my form is stuck in the upper left coner and i can't move it.

    Umm this is highly annoying, any way to change it so i can drag it around the design invironment?

    Thanks!

    I can't do that in VB6.

    Tools->Options Under the Environment->General section. There is a option to have tabbed or MDI environment. Switch it to MDI if not already.

    Now, it may look like you can't move the form around, but the window is just maximized. Right under the close button (Top right corner ... the X) of the main app, there is another set of minimize, restore/maximize, close buttons. Click the middle one, and the form surface won't be maximized and you can move it around.

    If it is unclear, just post again, and I will try to work out some screen shots.
