Tracy, Close but no banana. The Mousemove only fires when you move the mouse OVER the control not when you click whilst in it.
Hence it is OK if you move over the control from outside the control WITH the left button pre-clicked but not if you simply hold the mouse down when the textbox has focus. This is a real pain in the *rse and I'm sure someone must have solved it - In fact I'm sure I have in the dark distant past but probably with a timer - as you said. The search goes on.

MouseMove, if MDOWN() then start the drag at that point. Tracy -----Original Message----- From: Dave Crozier Subject: RE: Textbox Drag/Drop Tracy, That's what I've done but it is a real kludge as for this particular application I have a comms program timer running in the background and it just seems to screw everything up. Also, I wanted to use whatever the solution is in my VFPOrganiser project to drag/drop appointments into the waste basketbut allow the user to double click on an appointment to edit it, which is fairly standard Windows bahaviour. For the moment I've got aound it by programatically activating Drag/Drop when the user Right Clicks in a textbox but it doesn't "feel" correct - know what I mean?
