drag control using mouse

[nanko]

i am interested to move a panel control in a form by mouse dragging. how is this possible in vb.net?

this is with moving a control on a form by mouse dragging and not the contents of a control.

any help on this highly appreciated

This should work for any control, does for panel and button:

    Private Sub Panel1_MouseMove(ByVal sender As Object, _
    ByVal e As System.Windows.Forms.MouseEventArgs) _
    Handles Panel1.MouseMove
        If e.Button = MouseButtons.Left Then
            sender.Top = sender.Top + e.Y
            sender.Left = sender.Left + e.X
        End If
    End Sub

although if you are working with a container that has children controls, I don't see how (or why) you would leave the children controls behind. Contents of the control are going along for the ride unless you want to take them out of the controlscollection of the control you want to move.
