 Hi VJ, I made this sample for John Crouse, however the only thing in my opinion what you have to change basicly are toolbars instead of labels. (You can open a windowform application, delete all the code, past this bellow in and try) I hope this helps. Cor \\Public Class Form1 Inherits System.Windows.Forms.Form Public Sub New() MyBase.New() End Sub Protected Overloads Overrides Sub Dispose(ByVal disposing As Boolean) If disposing Then If Not (components Is Nothing) Then components.Dispose() End If End If MyBase.Dispose(disposing) End Sub Private components As System.ComponentModel.IContainer Private WithEvents Label1 As New System.Windows.Forms.Label Private WithEvents Label2 As New System.Windows.Forms.Label Private mouseX, mouseY As Integer Private arLabels() As Label Dim myMousedown As String Private Sub Form1_Load(ByVal sender As Object, _ ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles MyBase.Load Me.ClientSize = New System.Drawing.Size(400, 400) Label1.Name = "Label1" Label2.Name = "Label2" arLabels = New Label() {Label1, Label2} Dim lblY As Integer = 100 For Each Lbl As Label In arLabels Lbl.Location = New System.Drawing.Point(100, lblY) Lbl.ForeColor = Color.Red Lbl.BackColor = Color.Transparent Lbl.TextAlign = ContentAlignment.MiddleCenter Lbl.Text = Lbl.Location.X.ToString & "." & Lbl.Location.Y.ToString AddHandler Lbl.MouseDown, AddressOf Label_MouseDown AddHandler Lbl.MouseUp, AddressOf Label_MouseUp AddHandler Lbl.MouseMove, AddressOf Label_MouseMove lblY += 30 Me.Controls.Add(Lbl) Next End Sub Private Sub Label_MouseDown(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal _ e As System.Windows.Forms.MouseEventArgs) Dim lbl As Label = DirectCast(sender, Label) myMousedown = lbl.Name lbl.BringToFront() mouseX = Cursor.Position.X - lbl.Location.X mouseY = Cursor.Position.Y - lbl.Location.Y lbl.Cursor = Cursors.Hand End Sub Private Sub Label_MouseUp(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As _ System.Windows.Forms.MouseEventArgs) Dim lbl As Label = DirectCast(sender, Label) myMousedown = "" lbl.Cursor = Cursors.Default End Sub Private Sub Label_MouseMove(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e _ As System.Windows.Forms.MouseEventArgs) Dim lbl As Label = DirectCast(sender, Label) Static LastCursor As Point Dim NowCursor As Point = New Point(Cursor.Position.X, Cursor.Position.Y) If Point.op_Inequality(NowCursor, LastCursor) Then If myMousedown = lbl.Name Then lbl.Location = New System.Drawing.Point(Cursor.Position.X _ - mouseX, Cursor.Position.Y - mouseY) End If LastCursor = Cursor.Position lbl.Text = lbl.Location.X.ToString & "." & lbl.Location.Y.ToString End If End Sub End Class ///

  Do you want to implement that on your own or are you looking for (commercial) components? -- Herfried K. Wagner

 Hi, Check out this website: http://www.divil.co.uk I use his components and they are amazing! So long as the application you are writing is freeware, the license is free. -- HTH, -- Tom Spink
