Hi, I'm working on a c# application using MDI containers, and I wonder if there's a way to move a child without showing it's content while dragging it?

I don't know if I'm being clear with my question, I'm trying to do something as the effect of this performance option:

Solution 1

There are events for moving a form. I imagine you can hook something up that tells your child windows that the form is moving, and if you're doing any custom drawing, you can turn it off. If the drawing is all automatic, you'd have to hide your form elements.

See this article[^].
More specifically look at the DragLeave event and see if that helps you.
