border less from resize inc#

Question

See more:

i have a borderless form. I want to resize it using the mouse just like a form with a border. The thing is, the resizing should just look like the resizing of a sizable form. I mean, when u drag a sizable form, a rectangle indicates the virtual size of the form, after u let go the mouse button, the form rersizes to that position. I want to know how to get that rectangle to define the size the form is gonna assume. I hope i have made myself clear. The problem is a little tricky one. Plz help me.

thanks

What's so tricky? You do it in the client area, apparently, and you have all mouse events there to handle.

When I resize a form, it just resizes. But, you can capture the mouse (Mouse.Capture) and then until the mouse button is lifted, track mouse movement and draw your square on to the desktop. Here[^] is some code that does this.
