The example in the online Help "Performing Drag-and-Drop Operations in Windows Forms" suggest that the dodragdrop be called from the mousedown event, although you could call this from any event. I can do drag and drop with the button, but I want the user to be able to click the button or click and drag the button over a target area, without having to use some odd key combination.
>>I would like to be able to click a button or dragdrop the button. If I put code in the mousedown to handle the dragdrop, the click event doesn't fire. You could do this in VB6 and VFP by setting the dragmode to manual.

>There are several drag/drop properties and events where you should put code for handling drag/drop. Nothing is needed in the mousedown event. I haven't tested this to see whether the button's click event will still fire this way, but I might have time to look at it later. The whole drag/drop scenario is a bit tricky until you get the hang of it, but it's not really all that hard. I believe the latest CoDe magazine had an article on drag/drop. I've done drag/drop also, but I don't have any specific "how-to" stuff compiled as yet. If you don't subscribe to CoDe magazine, perhaps I can take some time to put together a few code snippets for a how-to. Lemme know if you need it ...
