The Weird and The Wonderful

   

The Weird and The Wonderful forum is a place to post Coding Horrors, Worst Practices, and the occasional flash of brilliance.

We all come across code that simply boggles the mind. Lazy kludges, embarrassing mistakes, horrid workarounds and developers just not quite getting it. And then somedays we come across - or write - the truly sublime.

Post your Best, your worst, and your most interesting. But please - no programming questions . This forum is purely for amusement and discussions on code snippets. All actual programming questions will be removed.

This is known as "Mouse Capture". Native Windows and dotNET apis are available.

Same effect if you press a native command button with a mouse but do not release it. You can roam the mouse all over the place, but if you come back to the button it will depress again. The button captured the mouse. Pretty standard for any dragging operation.

That all being said, resizing beyond the borders is not very intuitive. It seems like you are breaking a rule or something.
