You can use the ReleaseCapture() function to provide drag functionality. for example the following code will allow the user to drag a control around a form (you'll have to assign this code to the mousedown event):
[DllImport("User32.dll")]
private static extern int SendMessage(IntPtr hWnd, int msg , int wParam , ref int lParam);
[DllImport("user32")]
public static extern int ReleaseCapture(IntPtr hwnd);
private const int WM_SYSCOMMAND = 0x112;
private const int MOUSE_MOVE = 0xF012;
private void control_MouseDown(object sender, MouseEventArgs e)
{
Control ctrl = sender as Control;
ReleaseCapture(ctrl.Handle);
int nul =0;
SendMessage(ctrl.Handle, WM_SYSCOMMAND, MOUSE_MOVE, ref nul);
}
