Introduction

This bit of code shows how you can play with the CEGUI events to move any window, not just FrameWindows.

The current implementation listens for a right mouse click. When a CEGUI::Window* is right clicked it is flagged as being a "moving window". The GUI Sheet then subscribes to mouse move events, and upon a mouse movement event the "moving window"'s position is changed appropriately. Right clicking again releases the window.

A better implementation would be to have a border around the edge of the window. When the cursor would be positioned above that border it would display a moving cursor. Dragging (pressing down and holding the left mouse button) while above that border would move the window around.
