Examples

This code excerpt demonstrates using the QueryContinueDragEventArgs class with the QueryContinueDrag event. See the DoDragDrop method for the complete code example.

C#

private void ListDragSource_QueryContinueDrag(object sender, QueryContinueDragEventArgs e)
{
    // Cancel the drag if the mouse moves off the form.
    ListBox lb = sender as ListBox;

    if (lb != null)
    {
        Form f = lb.FindForm();

        // Cancel the drag if the mouse moves off the form. The screenOffset
        // takes into account any desktop bands that may be at the top or left
        // side of the screen.
        if (((Control.MousePosition.X - screenOffset.X) < f.DesktopBounds.Left) ||
            ((Control.MousePosition.X - screenOffset.X) > f.DesktopBounds.Right) ||
            ((Control.MousePosition.Y - screenOffset.Y) < f.DesktopBounds.Top) ||
            ((Control.MousePosition.Y - screenOffset.Y) > f.DesktopBounds.Bottom))
        {
            e.Action = DragAction.Cancel;
        }
    }
}

Remarks
