Form_Move event. 1

[RichardF]

I know - there isn't a form move event.

Does anyone know a way to detect if a form has been moved by the user ?

Form_Paint event is triggered after form is moved.

i'm not sure thats at all helpful.

how do i distinguish between when a user moves the form or when another form is moved over this form (which also causes a form_paint event), or when the form is maximised etc .... ?

You could compare the Form.Left and Form.Top values from the last time it was painted. If they have changed, then the form was moved; if not, then another form was moved over it.

SubClass the form using the SetWindowsHookEx and look for the WM_MOVING message for you form's hWnd. - Jeff Marler B-)
