error caused possibly by overriding WndProc method of form while using UIP AB

I get this error randomly that doesn't seem to cause anything to not work
correctly. The exception is caught, and seems to not affect the application
at all:

The code I used to make is so the form cannot be moved:
private const int WM_NCLBUTTONDOWN = 0XA1;

private const int WM_SYSCOMMAND = 0X112;

private const int HTCAPTION = 0X2;

private const int SC_MOVE = 0XF010;

protected override void WndProc(ref Message m)
{

if (m.Msg == WM_SYSCOMMAND && m.WParam.ToInt32() == SC_MOVE || m.Msg ==
WM_NCLBUTTONDOWN && m.WParam.ToInt32() == HTCAPTION)

return;

}

base.WndProc(ref m);

}

The exception:

Is there anyway to figure out what is happening? Like I said, it happens
very irregularly, so I can't really debug it.

thanks a bunch!

below is the Forms's WndProc, see if anything in it pertains to moving your

Are you sure the problem is in WndProc?
The stack trace seems to indicate something else

When you handle WM_SYSCOMMAND and
WM_NCLBUTTONDOWN you should return 0
(i.e. m.Result = IntPtr.Zero before return;)

Claes you don't need any of that. Why WM_SYSCOMMAND? I posted the codes that
does exactly what he needed. Here it is again for you:

protected override void WndProc(ref Message m)
{
const int WM_NCHITTEST = 0x84;
base.WndProc(ref m);

if(m.Msg == WM_NCHITTEST && m.Result == (IntPtr)2)
{
m.Result = (IntPtr) 1;
}
}

ok, so i just replace what i had with this?
I still need to call base.WndProc(), right?

The application is going to be run on a touch screen with the cursor set to
invisible. Does this have any implications?

the touch system calls mouse events, so its treated as a mouse
