Answer 1

Key presses can be intercepted by the key press event. The form has a keypreview property which must be set to true. When this is set true the forms keypress event will fire along with the specific controls key press event

However the arrow keys donot appear as ascii code and donot fire the keypress event. Arrow keys fire the key down event and have keyCodes 38 = up, 40 = down

For click and drag you can use the mouse down and mouse up events to obtain X & Y coordinates of the mouse on the form. You can determine the difference between the Y down and Y up values and move the picture accordingly using the .Top property

You can use other event such as mouse move which fires as the mouse moves over it. merly put a boolean value which is set and reset in the mouse up and mouse down events to act as a permissive in the mouse move event.

You will find that you will have to add code to account for the different in locations from the mouse position relative to the top position of the control. This will be a good opportunity to learn details about the coordinate system of the form and how thet top and left porperties of teh controls relate to mouse position.
