Make a Drag and Drop feature using the Mouse buttons to position a GraphicsWindow shape (Rectangle).

Extend it to rotate the shape when Shift key is down.

Nice solution JR,
but it has a funny side effect.

If I press the Shift key 5 times, the lock function is activated and the rectangle doesn't stop rotating.

Avoiding this would be the next challenge

Scout,

Goto start and type in sticky keys. It will bring up the sticky keys window that shows a group of buttons. Turn off the top button.

LitDev,

How about an explanation of how this is supposed to work. I did get it to rotate., but with a touchpad it's difficult. Hold the left button down, while moving it and hold the shift key down, Wow! Maybe with a mouse it works better. You put the blocks on top of each other then what? I don't get it!

JR,

This was just a solution to the challenge, nothing more, yes it would work better with a mouse.

LitDev.

I was thinking there is more that you could do with the rectangles. Yeah, it was hard to get them to rotate with a touchpad. I did like the grid. I hadn't seen that before. I'm still playing around with it. Your programs are always so interesting. Always a lot to learn.
