Please please please, help me :-)
Firstly, I am assuming that you are trying to replicate the Forms Designer
in functionality. This being the case, here goes ...
To add controls from a toolbox to the form, you must implement drag and
drop. Serialise the selected control from the toolbox into a DataObject, and
deserialise upon the drop into a control object.
To move the button, detect whether the mouse button is held down during a
mousemove event on the new control and reset the rectangle points to reflect
the movement of the mouse.
To resize the button, detect if the mouse is at the edge of the control and
if so, expand/reduce the rectangle size in each direction according to mouse
movements instead of moving the rectangle.
Hope ths helps.
