Dragging more than one form...

[onrdbandit]

howdy,

I am working on an app with several forms that I managed to get them to "snap" to each other (thanx to a little assistance), but I want to be able to drag the forms together. When I drag one form, I want to also drag the others. Does anyone have any suggestions other than buying a component to do it for me?

thanks,

(though free components are always nice)

Use that old trick with dragging form by clicking anywhere on form (sending a false message to the form that the caption is being clicked. Can't remember exactly what was the message, I'have to look, I hope you know what I'm talking about . Now, you just send the SAME message to every form and I think it should work!
(Not sure, this is the first thing to cross my mind

just a hack

put a TTimer on the second form

void __fastcall TForm2::Timer1Timer(TObject *Sender)
{
Form2->Top = Form1->Top;
Form2->Left = Form1->Left + 420;
Form2->Update ();
}

something to think about but probably to cumbersome.
