    By default, all forms are full screen using the .NET Compact Framework under Windows Mobile. You need set certain properties so that your forms are not full screen. See this blog post for the details. 

    Following the procedures outlined in the blog post eliminates the need to write your own mouse event handlers to reposition the form.
