Drag window 1

[scienzia]

Hi,

does anybody know how to make the window be dragged when I click and keep the left mouse button down on any place of the window that is not a button or a textbox (the behaviour of most skinned apps)?

thanks in advance

I cant remember the code exactly but on theory:
when your window receives WM_MOUSEMOVE message, then you should check if the left buttons is down (wParam) and if it is then you should calculate coords and send a WM_MOVE message to the window SendMessage() ...

Look on

http://www.planetcpp.com

and they have a demo project "form shaper" it has this code:

case WM_LBUTTONDOWN:
			SendMessage(hWnd,WM_NCLBUTTONDOWN,HTCAPTION,0);	//this is to move the form

Thankyou very much.

In MFC:

void CMyDlg::OnLButtonDown(UINT nFlags, CPoint point) 
{
	SendMessage(WM_NCLBUTTONDOWN,HTCAPTION);	
	CDialog::OnLButtonDown(nFlags, point);
}
