From: auujxa2 via AccessMonster.com on 7 Apr 2010 12:38 Is it possible to be able to drag a shape (rectangle, circle, etc.) from one side of a form to another. (to simulate a simple 'mini blue print'). If so, any link or direction you can send me to accomplish this would be fantastic. If it is possible, is it also possible to rotate the shapes? Thank you VERY much in advance. -- Message posted via AccessMonster.com http://www.accessmonster.com/Uwe/Forums.aspx/access-queries/201004/1

From: auujxa2 via AccessMonster.com on 7 Apr 2010 15:49 Karl, No need to reply since you didn't know the answer... You could have simply told me about the MouseDown function instead of wasting your time telling me what YOU think Access is for and not for. If there were to be no graphics on forms, there wouldn't be shapes to place on forms, or ActiveX objects or pictures, etc. I am using the majority of the form for presenting numeric and text data, this drag and drop I just created using the mousedown function works beautifully to support the numeric and text data.

Access forms do not let you Paint on most of their surface, so for your shapes rotations (like having a rectangle with its sides NOT parallel to the side of the form) , you are left with work-around, such as displaying a bitmap that you will also keep in memory: you paint on the bitmap in memory and then transfer it as the source for the picture control on the form. Stephen Lebans has packaged some of the functionalities, presented at his site http://www.lebans.com/.
