Hi, you can create your own TPanel descendant to do this easily: type TDragMovePanel = class(TPanel) protected procedure MouseDown(Button: TMouseButton; Shift: TShiftState; X, Y: Integer); override; end; procedure TDragMovePanel.MouseDown(Button: TMouseButton; Shift: TShiftState; X, Y: Integer); begin if (Button = mbLeft) then begin ReleaseCapture; Perform(WM_SYSCOMMAND, SC_DRAGMOVE, 0); end else begin inherited MouseDown(Button, Shift, X, Y); end; end; Maybe this also works inside a TPanel's OnMouseDown event, but I haven't tested that.
