Hi all,

I am creating some controls at runtime, and I have options for drag and drop with runtime created controls. When I drag and drop from one place to another place I want to know the new X,Y location of that control. How can I get this please? Sample code appreciated.

Honestly, I just don't want to bring your abuse to the attention of the community, because I don't want you to loose your account which may happen on several abuse reports. Your abuse is minor so far, but please be careful: some of your "Solution" posts were not answers; they could be comments; and I just removed your non-question. The abuse reports on inappropriate posts are pretty much safe; they will lead to auto-deletion of such posts, but if you irritate people with systematic abuse, they will feel spammed and report on the account, with the risk of it cancellation. A number of people posting fake "answers" already lost their account. I don't think it should happen to you, because they were just cheating, and you just need to be more accurate...
Good luck,
—SA

Solution 1

controlid.Top = the distance from top of control to top of form.
controlid.Left = distance from left of control to left of form.
thats your Y and your X respectivly.

there are also Bottom and Right properties. they are Get and Set
