[2005] Moving labels

[maco]

I have project which includes moving some labels around controlled by the user. They are put above an picturebox which simulates a soccer field, where you can put up a tactic. The use is in control of a total of 11 labels above this box. I got the first one working as it should (goalie). But now that I make the defenders (4 of them, that should be able to move anywhere on the field by it self without moving any other of the three defenders) it moves them all!

They have nothing to do with each other and I can't click any of them accept the first one to the left and move all 4 labels. If I try to move any of the other nothing happens. Try to move the first one and everyone moves.

Any ideas? Here is the code for the labels and moving them. I only pasted the first 2 defender labels because it's the same for the other 2. If I put them in they will also follow the first one.

Private Sub player2Label_MouseDown1(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.Windows.Forms.MouseEventArgs) Handles player2Label.MouseDown
        'check if it's the left button pressed
        If e.Button = Windows.Forms.MouseButtons.Left Then
 
            'store the mouse co-ords
            x = e.X
            y = e.Y
        End If
    End Sub
 
    Private Sub player2Label_MouseMove(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.Windows.Forms.MouseEventArgs) Handles player2Label.MouseMove
        'only update if left button is still pressed
        If e.Button = Windows.Forms.MouseButtons.Left Then
 
            'work out the labels new x position
            If e.X > x Then
                player2Label.Left += e.X - x
            Else
                player2Label.Left -= x - e.X
            End If
 
            'work out the label new y position
            If e.Y > y Then
                player2Label.Top += e.Y - y
            Else
                player2Label.Top -= y - e.Y
 
            End If
        End If
    End Sub
 
    Private Sub player3Label_MouseDown1(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.Windows.Forms.MouseEventArgs) Handles player2Label.MouseDown
        'check if it's the left button pressed
        If e.Button = Windows.Forms.MouseButtons.Left Then
 
            'store the mouse co-ords
            x = e.X
            y = e.Y
        End If
    End Sub
 
    Private Sub player3Label_MouseMove(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.Windows.Forms.MouseEventArgs) Handles player2Label.MouseMove
        'only update if left button is still pressed
        If e.Button = Windows.Forms.MouseButtons.Left Then
 
            'work out the labels new x position
            If e.X > x Then
                player3Label.Left += e.X - x
            Else
                player3Label.Left -= x - e.X
            End If
 
            'work out the label new y position
            If e.Y > y Then
                player3Label.Top += e.Y - y
            Else
                player3Label.Top -= y - e.Y
 
            End If
        End If
    End Sub

Another last question, is there another way to move them so they won't end up outside the panel that the picturebox and the labels are inside?

Hi

Your problem is your handlers!

You've used "Handles player2Label.MouseMove" to execute subs player2Label_MouseMove and player3Label_MouseMove

Hey!

Didn't see that, and I didn't think about it. I just copied the code and changed everything but the handlers. :/
