    Moving a frame(sorry i mean groupbox)

    I'm trying to get this to work:

    When the user clicks the command button. I want it to put the groupbox's y coordinate into a variable.
    This is what I tried. y = frame1.location.Y;

    Then I want to move it. So I tried y+=20;

    THen I try to put it back into the frame so that it will change. frame1.Location.Y = y;

    But it doesn't work. Anyone have any idea ?.. when the user clicks the button..i want it to keep moving down or up.


    Thanks, Tperry.

    The problem is you probably can't assign to
    frame1.Location.Y
    directly. Try this:

    int y = frame1.Location.Y;
    int y += 20;
    frame1.Location = new Point(frame1.Location.X, y);
