I'm not sure what you're asking. You want to be able to drag the dialog but you can't for some reason? — Brandon, Oct 30 '12 at 05:35

Simply register the MouseDown, MouseMove and MoueUp events for your Panel

    bool MouseDownFlag = false;
    Point start = new Point(0, 0);

    private void panel1_MouseDown(object sender, MouseEventArgs e)
    {
        start = new Point(e.X, e.Y);
        MouseDownFlag = true;
    }

    private void panel1_MouseMove(object sender, MouseEventArgs e)
    {
        if (MouseDownFlag)
        {
            Point newPoint = new Point();
            newPoint.X = this.Location.X - (start.X - e.X);
            newPoint.Y = this.Location.Y - (start.Y - e.Y);

            this.Location = newPoint;
        }
    }

    private void panel1_MouseUp(object sender, MouseEventArgs e)
    {
        MouseDownFlag = false;
    }

Hi Afshin, thanks for replying, how can i register events, is there any reference — Ssasidhar, Oct 31 '12 at 03:49
In the Properties pane of your Form, in the Events section, double click on each of MouseDown, MouseMove, MouseUp events so that a method is generated automatically for each event, or in the Load event of your form add codes likes this.MouseDown += panel1_MouseDown; .... — Mohsen Afshin, Oct 31 '12 at 06:28
