RectTracker
I am looking for .NET class which works like MFC CrectTracker. RectTracker from CodeProject http://www.codeproject.com/cs/miscctrl/CSharpRectTracker.asp is good for moving controls on the form, but I need object which moves itself over image. It should not be control itself, and should not contain other controls - exactly like MFC CRectTracker - just draws itself and handles mouse messages.
If there is such class, please post a link.

Idle_Mind, this class is working, but requires a lot of client code. I am looking for something that fully encapsulates all functionality, with minimum client code.
CRectTracker has the following interface:
1) public Rectangle member which can be set and read.
2) Virtual Draw function which draws rectangle and resizing handles (both rectangle and handles are optional). Called by client from WM_PAINT handler.
3) HitTest function which detects whether tracker is clicked. Called by client from WM_MOUSEDOWN handler.
4) Track function which moves/resizes tracker. This function is called by client when HitTest is positive. Function returns when user releases mouse button. During resizing/moving CRectTracker draws itself using DrawFocusRect, without invalidating parent window.
I am looking something like this.
bruintje, my WinRar cannot open rar archive from your link. Do you have another link, or maybe you can post the code?

Zip is OK, thanks. I will test this project.

Looks like something that I am looking for, I need more time for testing. I will return to this question later.

Life is not so easy, I spent some time with CRectTracker class. Finally I removed 70% of it's code, reduced functionality to minimum required for my case, fixed some bugs and got working version.
bruintje, thank you for the link. Idle_Mind, thank you for some ideas in your implementation.

thanks glad you got it working, hopefully it was at least easier then build from scratch :)
