I have a small method that allows me to drag a form that has no border / title bar:
public const int WM_NCLBUTTONDOWN = 0xA1;
public const int HT_CAPTION = 0x2;
[DllImportAttribute("user32.dll")]
public static extern int SendMessage(IntPtr hWnd,
int Msg, int wParam, int lParam);
[DllImportAttribute("user32.dll")]
public static extern bool ReleaseCapture();
private void Form1_MouseDown(object sender, MouseEventArgs e)
{
if (e.Button == MouseButtons.Left)
{
ReleaseCapture();
SendMessage(Handle, WM_NCLBUTTONDOWN, HT_CAPTION, 0);
}
}
and in the designer:
this.MouseDown += new System.Windows.Forms.MouseEventHandler(this.RemoteControl_MouseDown);
At the moment I have to add it to each form in the application, which is annoying. As such I have tried adding it to a custom class, which I use to style the forms:
public class ThemeManager
{
// Required for drag / drop
public const int WM_NCLBUTTONDOWN = 0xA1;
public const int HT_CAPTION = 0x2;
[DllImportAttribute("user32.dll")]
public static extern int SendMessage(IntPtr hWnd,
int Msg, int wParam, int lParam);
[DllImportAttribute("user32.dll")]
public static extern bool ReleaseCapture();
public void setTheme(Form sender)
{
sender.MouseDown += new System.Windows.Forms.MouseEventHandler(MyForm_MouseDown);
}
private void MyForm_MouseDown(object sender, MouseEventArgs e)
{
Form f = sender as Form;
if (e.Button == MouseButtons.Left)
{
ReleaseCapture();
SendMessage(Handle, WM_NCLBUTTONDOWN, HT_CAPTION, 0);
}
}
}
Trouble is, when I do it this way, I get the following error:
The name 'Handle' does not exist in the current context
How can I make it work?
