I already use a 3 event mouseUp ,mouseDown and mouseMove for moving a label at runtime and also use same event for resize a font size.

That's good. Where exactly is your problem in moving several labels instead of one?

acctually,
I want to do same as we select a multiple label or control at form design time.
using mouse dragging and we can see mouse draging caption.

I got that. But since you already got the dragging of one label to work, where exactly is the problem doing so for multiple labels?

You need a way to add the labels to a collection then when moving you iterate the collection and change the x/y values, like your doing on the single label, and they will move.

VB

Private myDragLabels As New List(Of Label)

In mouseUp event:

VB

myDragLabels.Add({label under mouse})

In mouseMove:

VB

For Each lb As Label In myDragLabels
  'change the x/y coordinates
