Yes, you can drag controls around the front panel of the same VI.

I assuming you cannot drag and drop to another FP (but someone might have done it?)

I would start by looking at the Position Property for a FP object.

Also Dynamically Registering these events for moving are a good idea too (to create more efficient code)

It's definitely doable. Look at this video.
