.NET

[#1]

Hi, I Would like to create a drawing from vb.net, and when it is drawn, i would like to move it to the place the user wants it to be in the drawing using a ghost-image on the mouse cursus

... i cannot get it to work, my head explodes..(rather new at .net, used to vba)

this is what i have at this point:

I have a drawing, in this examples just 2 rectangles, which are drawn by vb.net, and put in an arraylist.

this arraylist has to be dragged to another location in the drawing by the user.

I want to get an objectcollection in a selectionset (or if anyone has a better idea??)

kind regards Wouter de Haan

I just rewrote some parts of your code,

see if this will be working on your end
