Mouse moving a picture box in C++ GUI

[Vycues]

I am trying to move a picture box and drag it to a different location on the form using the left button pushed down on the mouse. The code below moves the picture box, but the box isn't in sync with the mouse cursor. I appreciate any help with this issue. Thanks.

private: System::Void pictureBox1_MouseMove(System::Object^  sender,
System::Windows::Forms::MouseEventArgs^  e) {

	Point p;
	p.X = e->X;	
	p.Y = e->Y;

	if (e->Button == System::Windows::Forms::MouseButtons::Left)
	{	
		
		Point p = Cursor->Position;
		
		
		pictureBox1->Location = p;
			
		textBox1->Text = Cursor->Position.ToString();
		textBox2->Text = e->Location.ToString();		
	}
	
}

but the box isn't in sync with the mouse cursor.

What exactly do you mean ?

Common practice is to store the variables in the form class

  bool dragging = false;
  int currentX, currentY;

In the mouse down event

  dragging = true;
  currentX = e->X;
  currentY = e->Y;

In the mouse up event:
dragging = false;

In the mouse move event:

if (dragging)
  {
    pictureBox1->Top = pictureBox1->Top + (e->Y - currentY);
    pictureBox1->Left = pictureBox1->Left + (e->X - currentX);
    textBox1->Text = Cursor->Position.ToString();
    textBox2->Text = e->Location.ToString();
  }

The Cursor->Position gives you the screen coordinates, e->Location the cursor pos inside the picture box

Hope this makes sense.
