How to prevent a form from moving

[Steve]

Hi,

I would like that my form inherit from Form (which has
this.ControlBox = false;
this.FormBorderStyle = FormBorderStyle.FixedToolWindow;
) would not allow moving.
I have try to override OnMove, but I do not achieve my aim, I guess it just do not call the associate delegate.

Any help is welcome,

thank you

Hi Steve,
This is not exactly a solution, but you can try setting the FormBorderStyle to "None". This prevents the user from moving the form.

I have found a better solution :
http://groups.google.de/groups?selm=u1eMJOibDHA.2632%40TK2MSFTNGP09.phx.gbl
in VB
and I implemented it like this in c#:
protected override void WndProc(ref Message m)
{
const int WM_NCLBUTTONDOWN = 161;
const int WM_SYSCOMMAND = 274;
const int HTCAPTION = 2;
const int SC_MOVE = 61456;

if((m.Msg == WM_SYSCOMMAND) && (m.WParam.ToInt32() == SC_MOVE))
{
return;
}

if((m.Msg == WM_NCLBUTTONDOWN) && (m.WParam.ToInt32() == HTCAPTION))
{
return;
}

base.WndProc (ref m);
}
