.NET Framework Class Library
Control..::.OnMove Method

Raises the Move event.

Namespace: System.Windows.Forms
Assembly: System.Windows.Forms (in System.Windows.Forms.dll)
Syntax
Protected Overridable Sub OnMove ( _
	e As EventArgs _
)
protected virtual void OnMove(
	EventArgs e
)
protected:
virtual void OnMove(
	EventArgs^ e
)
abstract OnMove : 
        e:EventArgs -> unit 
override OnMove : 
        e:EventArgs -> unit 

Parameters

e
Type: System..::.EventArgs
An EventArgs that contains the event data.
Remarks

Raising an event invokes the event handler through a delegate. For more information, see Raising an Event.

The OnMove method also allows derived classes to handle the event without attaching a delegate. This is the preferred technique for handling the event in a derived class.

Notes to Inheritors

When overriding OnMove in a derived class, be sure to call the base class's OnMove method so that registered delegates receive the event.

Examples

The following code example uses the Move event to display the location of the form in screen coordinates on the caption bar of the form.


' The following example displays the location of the form in screen coordinates
' on the caption bar of the form.
Private Sub Form1_Move(sender As Object, e As System.EventArgs) Handles MyBase.Move
    Me.Text = "Form screen position = " + Me.Location.ToString()
End Sub


// The following example displays the location of the form in screen coordinates
// on the caption bar of the form.
private void Form1_Move(object sender, System.EventArgs e)
{
    this.Text = "Form screen position = " + this.Location.ToString();
}


   // The following example displays the location of the form in screen coordinates
   // on the caption bar of the form.
private:
   void Form1_Move( Object^ /*sender*/, System::EventArgs^ /*e*/ )
   {
      this->Text = String::Format( "Form screen position = {0}", this->Location );
   }
