    Question Drag/Move functionality for Visual C/C++ program

    I use Microsoft Visual Studio .NET 2003 and am currently working on a project which requires the ability for the user to be able to move objects at runtime. At the moment I'm trying to use a 'Windows Forms Application (.NET)' project to do this.
    The idea is for the user to be able to move a picturebox or something (using click and drag and drop) during runtime, pretty much like during the creation process of the form.
    I do not mean dragging a file into the program so it can open it or anything, but moving objects around on the form itself.

    Thank you in advance to anyone who can help me,

    Philipp
    I program solely as a hobby so this is definitely not homework.
    Best thing that's been said to me:
    I was so pleasantly surprised to see another post in this thread, and yours was brilliant; a fitting end to a subject (matrix manipulations of all kinds) that is quite intriguing.

    Question Creating a new control in runtime

    I've managed to work out how to drag controls thanks to some help.
    I now have another question:
    How can you create a new control during runtime?
    For example, how could I create a new label in my Form during runtime when the user clicks a button or something?

    Thanks,

    Philipp
