Docking an application to the top or bottom of the screen

[nwruiz]

Hello,

I am currently working on a program that will grab an RSS feed and display it as a ticker. I would like to allow the user to dock the application to the top or bottom of the screen and automatically resize the width of the application window to fit the entire screen width. What sort of control would I have to add to my application to achieve this goal?

I see a couple of options:

1. Create a set of buttons that say "Dock Left, Dock Top, blah blah.."

2. Create an on_mousemove(object sender, eventargs e) event. Everytime the mouse moves, calculate the form's position. If it is within 10 pixels of each side of the screen then reposition and resize it (form.Width = Screen.Width, Form1.Location = new Point(0,0))

The second one is cooler and not too tough.

Let me know how it goes
