Not allowing user to move a form

Hi,

I have some MDI app and i dont want the users to be able to move the windows.  How i can stop the user being able to move the form by clicking on the title bar?

Thanks,
Mike

Place this in the form code:

    Protected Overrides Sub WndProc(ByRef m As System.Windows.Forms.Message)
        Const WM_NCHITTEST As Integer = &H84
        Const HTCLIENT As Integer = &H1
        Const HTCAPTION As Integer = &H2

        Select Case m.Msg
            Case WM_NCHITTEST
                MyBase.WndProc(m)
                If (m.Result.ToInt32 = HTCAPTION) Then
                    m.Result = IntPtr.op_Explicit(HTCLIENT)
                End If
                Exit Sub
        End Select

        MyBase.WndProc(m)
    End Sub

I like that one better, just ignores the request as apposed to the example I gave which tricks it into thinking you are clicking the form area.
