Move the rectangle with the mouse

Question

I wrote this code:

private struct MovePoint
    {
        public int X;
        public int Y;
    }
private void Image_MouseDown(object sender, MouseEventArgs e)
    {
        FirstPoint = new MovePoint();
        FirstPoint.X = e.X;
        FirstPoint.Y = e.Y;
    }

    private void Image_MouseMove(object sender, MouseEventArgs e)
    {
        if(e.Button == MouseButtons.Left)
        {
            if(FirstPoint.X > e.X)
            {
                Rectangle.X = FirstPoint.X - e.X;
                //Rectangle.Width -= FirstPoint.X - e.X;
            } else
            {
                Rectangle.X = FirstPoint.X + e.X;
                //Rectangle.Width += FirstPoint.X + e.X;
            }

            if(FirstPoint.Y > e.Y)
            {
                Rectangle.Y = FirstPoint.Y - e.Y;
                //Rectangle.Height -= FirstPoint.Y - e.Y;
            } else
            {
                Rectangle.Y = FirstPoint.Y + e.Y;
                //Rectangle.Height += FirstPoint.Y + e.Y;
            }

            Image.Invalidate();
        }
    }
private void Image_Paint(object sender, PaintEventArgs e)
    {
        if(Pen != null) e.Graphics.DrawRectangle(Pen, Rectangle);
    }

The rectangle moves, but with inversion (it should not be). You can help?

Answer 1

The math of your mouse move handler to move the rectangle based on mouse movements seems completely off; I think you need something like this:

private void Image_MouseMove(object sender, MouseEventArgs e)
{
    if (e.Button == MouseButtons.Left)
    {
        int initialX = 0, initialY = 0; // for example.

        Rectangle.X = (e.X - FirstPoint.X) + initialX; 
        Rectangle.Y = (e.Y - FirstPoint.Y) + initialY;

        Image.Invalidate();
    }
}

Thus, the upper left corner of the rectangle will follow the mouse, tracking the delta between the initial location of the mouse and the current location of the mouse. Note, however, that every time you click and drag repeatedly, the rectangle returns to its original location.

, Rectangle "" (.. ), :

private void Image_MouseMove(object sender, MouseEventArgs e)
{
    if (e.Button == MouseButtons.Left)
    {
        // Increment rectangle-location by mouse-location delta.
        Rectangle.X += e.X - FirstPoint.X; 
        Rectangle.Y += e.Y - FirstPoint.Y; 

        // Re-calibrate on each move operation.
        FirstPoint = new MovePoint { X = e.X, Y = e.Y };

        Image.Invalidate();
    }
}
