Floating toolbar

Answer:

All you have to do is handle Windows' wm_NCHitTest message. 
(Compare to the tip how to drag a window without a caption bar. It's the same 
technique.) 


1   unit Dragmain;
2   
3   interface
4   
5   uses
6     SysUtils, WinTypes, WinProcs, Messages, Classes, Graphics, Controls,
7     Forms, Dialogs, StdCtrls;
8   
9   type
10    TForm1 = class(TForm)
11      Button1: TButton;
12      procedure Button1Click(Sender: TObject);
13    private
14      procedure WMNCHitTest(var M: TWMNCHitTest); message wm_NCHitTest;
15    end;
16  
17  var
18    Form1: TForm1;
19  
20  implementation
21  
22  {$R *.DFM}
23  
24  procedure TForm1.WMNCHitTest(var M: TWMNCHitTest);
25  begin
26    inherited; { call the inherited message handler }
27    if M.Result = htClient then { is the click in the client area?   }
28      M.Result := htCaption; { if so, make Windows think it's     }
29    { on the caption bar.                }
30  end;
31  
32  procedure TForm1.Button1Click(Sender: TObject);
33  begin
34    Close;
35  end;
36  
37  end.
