        startPoint = startObject.WindowToScreen(startObject.Width/2, startObject.Height/2);
        targetPoint = destinationObject.WindowToScreen(destinationObject.Width/2, destinationObject.Height/2);
    
        dragX = targetPoint.X - startPoint.X;
        dragY = targetPoint.Y - startPoint.Y;
    
        startObject.Drag(-1, -1, dragX, dragY); 
    }
