Thanks for your reply. I tried to check the SelectionLength and SelectedText propertys, but if I start to drag the text becomes unselected. It would work, if the MouseDown event is fired before the unselection. :doh: Does anybody have an idea?

Hi, I've read several articles about drag&drop and know how to d&d text from one textbox to another. But if I catch the MouseDown event, I can't select text or if I select text it becomes unselected if I try to drag it. My target is to select and drag and drop text like in Visual Studio itself (Just from one textbox to another). I tried several workarounds, but no one works as expected. My environment is Visual Studio, graphics library is default Windows Forms. I would appreciate helpfull hints, thank you. :^) :sigh: :doh: :) :-D Kalix

Hello everybody, I know that a mdi-parent should only be a container for the mdi-childs, but I want/need to get some dynamic information on the background. I have tried to put a label on the grey parent-panel, but if I open a child, the label is still in front of the child. Also with SendToBack() and BringToTop() I had no success. I hope, my problem is clear to you. I would appreciate if anyone can help me :) Best Regards, Kalix
