Hi! I want to implement this solution[^] in a C++ Windows Form. But there are differences in the syntax that I can't figure out. Can anyone help?

Actually, the only thing that bothers me is

[DllImportAttribute("user32.dll")]

To make it more clear - I'm currently using this and I don't like the way it works.

Please note that both of these methods are just reinventing the wheel. Much simpler and better option is one that is described in the comment here: http://www.codeproject.com/Messages/4771552/My-vote-of-Useless-hack-to-solve-a-problem-that-al.aspx. Please research WM_NCHITTEST message, it is very easy to implement.

Thanks! I found this thread. It does the job almost perfectly. Still there is one issue - I have a toolstrip which also acts like a titlebar for my form. I want to drag the form only if the event is captured by this toolstrip. If it's captured by the form itself(the only visible part of it is like a thin border), I want to be able to resize it. Right now, if I click on the toolstrip, nothing happens and at the same time, wherever I click on the form, it starts dragging.
