Are you drawing on the form directly? Wouldn't be able to really move it to easily that way... detect mousedown on an object it's drawn on, then while it's down (hold in a bool) move based on offset + mouse location while in the boundaries of the window.... when mouseup, set bool to false...

That's how I'd go about doing it.. there might be a better method, but i don't know of it

draw it on a control (let's say, a transparent panel), then drag the control. It's "the better method".
