Simple (but short cut) to Borderless Forms

 

Pros:

• Simple, easy to Program
• Easy to understand for the beginner

Cons

• May flicker as controls are drawn and redrawn
• Windows seems not to like this method much :)

Insert this code snippet in your form that you want to be movable :

 

#Region "Declarations"

Dim m As Integer = 0

Dim n As Integer = 0

Dim isMouseDown As Boolean = False

Dim isMouseDownAgain As Boolean = False

#End Region

#Region "Form Events"

Private Sub Form1_MouseDown(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.Windows.Forms.MouseEventArgs) Handles Me.MouseDown

If isMouseDownAgain = True Then

    isMouseDown = False

    isMouseDownAgain = False

         End If

         m = MousePosition.X - Me.Location.X

         n = MousePosition.Y - Me.Location.Y

         Me.Location = New Point(MousePosition.X - m, MousePosition.Y - n)

         If isMouseDown = True Then

    isMouseDownAgain = True

        Else

    isMouseDownAgain = False

End If

isMouseDown = True

End Sub

Private Sub Form1_MouseMove(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.Windows.Forms.MouseEventArgs) Handles Me.MouseMove

If isMouseDown = True And isMouseDownAgain <> True Then

        Me.Location = New Point(MousePosition.X - m, MousePosition.Y - n)

Else

      Exit Sub

End If

End Sub

Private Sub Form1_MouseUp(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.Windows.Forms.MouseEventArgs) Handles Me.MouseUp

isMouseDown = False

Me.Location = New Point(MousePosition.X - m, MousePosition.Y - n)

End Sub

#End Region
