Source imaging of solar radio bursts can be used to track energetic electrons and associated magnetic structures. Here we present a combined analysis of data at different wavelengths for an eruption associated with a moving type-IV (t-IVm) radio burst. In the inner corona, the sources are correlated with a hot and twisted eruptive EUV structure, while in the outer corona the sources are associated with the top front of the bright core of a white light coronal mass ejection (CME). This reveals the potential of using t-IVm imaging data to continuously track the CME by lighting up the specific component containing radio-emitting electrons. It is found that the t-IVm burst presents a clear spatial dispersion with observing frequencies. The burst manifests broken power-law like spectra in brightness temperature, which is as high as $10^7$-$10^9$ K while the polarization level is in-general weak. In addition, the t-IVm burst starts during the declining phase of the flare with a duration as long as 2.5 hours. From the differential emission measure analysis of AIA data, the density of the T-IVm source is likely at the level of 10$^8$ cm$^{-3}$ at the start of the burst, and the temperature may reach up to several MK. These observations do not favor gyro-synchrotron to be the radiation mechanism, yet in line with a coherent plasma emission excited by energetic electrons trapped within the source. Further studies are demanded to elucidate the emission mechanism and explore the full diagnostic potential of t-IVm bursts.
