Question

I used this code to draw a line in a panel.

    private bool isMoving = false;
    private Point mouseDownPosition = Point.Empty;
    private Point mouseMovePosition = Point.Empty;
    private List<Tuple<Point, Point>> lines = new List<Tuple<Point, Point>>();

    private void PanelPaint(object sender, PaintEventArgs e)
    {
        var g = e.Graphics;
        Pen p = new Pen(Color.Red, 7);
        if (isMoving)
        {
            e.Graphics.SmoothingMode = SmoothingMode.AntiAlias;
            g.Clear(panel1.BackColor);

            g.DrawLine(p, mouseDownPosition, mouseMovePosition);
            foreach (var line in lines)
            {
                g.DrawLine(p, line.Item1, line.Item2);
            }
        }
    }

    private void PanelMouseDown(object sender, MouseEventArgs e)
    {
        isMoving = true;
        mouseDownPosition = e.Location;
    }

    private void PanelMouseMove(object sender, MouseEventArgs e)
    {
        if (isMoving)
        {
            mouseMovePosition = e.Location;
            panel1.Invalidate();
        }
    }

    private void PanelMouseUp(object sender, MouseEventArgs e)
    {
        if (isMoving)
        {
            lines.Add(Tuple.Create(mouseDownPosition, mouseMovePosition));
        }
        isMoving = false;
    }

Then I need to be able to resize and move the line by the mouse, but I have no idea how can I do that.

If you have any idea or tutorials about that, I will be grateful.

Thank All.

public class LineMover : Form

    this.DoubleBuffered = true;

    this.Paint += new PaintEventHandler(LineMover_Paint);
    this.MouseMove += new MouseEventHandler(LineMover_MouseMove);

    this.MouseUp += new MouseEventHandler(LineMover_MouseUp);

    this.Lines = new List<GraphLine>()
    {
      new GraphLine (10, 10, 100, 200),
      new GraphLine (10, 150, 120, 40),

    if (Moving != null)
    {

    RefreshLineSelection(e.Location);

  }

  void  LineMover_MouseDown(object sender, MouseEventArgs e)

    this.Cursor =
        Moving != null ? Cursors.Hand :

  }



  public List<GraphLine> Lines = new List<GraphLine>();
  GraphLine SelectedLine = null;
  MoveInfo Moving = null;


  static GraphLine FindLineByPoint(List<GraphLine> lines, Point p)
  {
    var size = 10;
    var buffer = new Bitmap(size * 2, size * 2);
    foreach (var line in lines)
    {
      //draw each line on small region around current point p and check pixel in point p 

      using (var g = Graphics.FromImage(buffer))
      {
        g.Clear(Color.Black);
        g.DrawLine(new Pen(Color.Green, 3), line.StartPoint.X - p.X + size, line.StartPoint.Y - p.Y + size, line.EndPoint.X - p.X + size, line.EndPoint.Y - p.Y + size);
      }

      if (buffer.GetPixel(size, size).ToArgb() != Color.Black.ToArgb())
        return line;
    }
    return null;
  }

  public static void Main()

    Application.Run(new LineMover());
  }
