Please Help Me With Drag-n-Drop Of Multiple Items From One Listview To Another.
Hello!

I'm facing a problem with Listview Drog and Drop of multiple items from one listview to another listview. When I try to Drag only one single item, the item is dragged without any problem. However, when the multiple selected items are dragged, the Listview on which the items are dropped, receives information about only one item and not all selected items. The item, about which the information is received, is the same on which I click and hold mouse to start drag action. So, it looks like even though multiple items are selected in a listview, while executing the Drag-Drop action, listview treats it as single item selected!

Is this a default behavior of Listview or am I missing/doing anything wrong? Any work-around for this (seems like default) behavior of Listview? I searched for it and got a code example at http://btmtz.mvps.org/listview/ where the author has demonstrated Drag-Drop of multiple items. However, the code is specifically restricted to re-arranging items within same Listview and the information is transported via Drag-Drop to another Listview, upon which the items are dropped.

To help you all to get a better insight of my problem, I have attached a Demo of Listview Drag-n-Drop. Please see the project and you will see that when one item is dragged from left side Listview to right side Listview, no problem for VB to allow me to do it! However, when you select multiple items in left side Listview and try dragging those to right side Listview, only one item is dragged. Please let me know if I'm doing anything wrong here and please help me to get this stuff to work!

Waiting for your valuable reply ...

Drag && Drop - Items Order

Drag And Drop To Reorder Listbox Items??
All,

I am using VB6 with a standard listbox control. What I am trying to do is get drag and drop capability on the items within the list box so that users can re-order the items by dragging and dropping them to the new position.

I have found code on MSDN that works...sort of. It uses the DragDrop event that seems to set the DragMode to automatic in code. The drag and drop does work but it seems as an artifact of that, when I click and drag the item, rather than isolating to the selected item, the entire frame of the listbox becomes attached to the mouse cursor and is dragged as the mouse cursor is moved.

Additionally, it doesn't actually move the control, it just drags the frame with the mouse cursor, when the mouse button is released, the frame disappears and the item is rearranged in the list. I want to just have my defined cursor display, not the list box frame.

Anyone have any code or know how to easily rearrange list box items?

Thanks in advance,

-John

Drag And Drop Form Items. Sleight Of Hand!
Hi,

During runtime, I want to drag items from one field of a form to another.

I assume I must capture the click event of the object to be moved and then click to the object that will recieve the data and then behind the scenes just copy the info from and to.

eh?

However, I'd like a drag effect.

Say, a user clicks a number and then pictorially drags it to its new location.

I suppose I'd use BMP's.

Is it just a question of changing the shape of the cursor?

Or could I instead attach a BMP to the cursor and when the user decided where to place the data, discard the BMP and then copy the data behind the scenes?

TIA,
Bill

below is the example of tree view, if i drag "phone#" from company and drop it below the designation then it should be deleted from company section and should be added in employee section graphically.

Root node

Drag And Drop Multiple Objects
I am trying to write some code that selects a number of image boxes and drags them all together to be dropped to another portion of the form. I have set drag mode to manual and tried to start the drag in the following way...

For i = 0 To UBound(selected)
Imageshadow(get_index(selected(i))).Drag vbBeginDrag
Next i

However, this seems to only initiate the drag on the last of the arrays cycled through. Does anyone know how to do this properly? Or know of a tutorial where this is done?

Drag Drop && Multiple Arrays
I have exhausted all resources on this project! I have a form with 6 computer images that need to "drag drop" to 5 picture boxes and change the image. When I try to do this the source array seems to be linked to the "good drop source" array and shows all pictures with the same Index as the source. How do I make the drop result just one image?

Drag And Drop Multiple Controls
I have a bunch of image controls on a form. My app allows a user to select one or more image boxes and then drag them onto some other control at the top of the screen.

How do i get the drag icon for multiple controls to all drag at the same time?

Right now one controls get the drag icon, when it is dropped i just take a peek at what the user highlighted, the issue is that users want to see a drag icon for each image

Listview Drag And Drop
Hi,
i have a listview set up as a listing of files.

I have the drop function up and running so the user can drop files straight into the list but what i can get working is the drop function.

All i want to be able to do is have the user drag the selected items from the list outside the form and return the address of where the files are to be dropped as a message box.

If anyone can help or point me in the right direction it would be great,
-Dave

ListView Drag 'n Drop
I have most of the functionality for dragging and item from a listview and setting the text in a textbox to that data. However, when I drag the the item I get a drag icon that to the user code be interpreted as dragging the whole list. Basically, instead of a small rectangle I'm getting a big one. How would I go about fixing it?

Code:
Dim strHolder As String
Private Sub ListView1_MouseDown(Button As Integer, Shift As Integer, X As Single, Y As Single)
If Not (ListView1.HitTest(X, Y) Is Nothing) Then
ListView1.HitTest(X, Y).Selected = True
strHolder = ListView1.SelectedItem.Text
ListView1.Drag
End If
End Sub

Private Sub Text1_DragDrop(Source As Control, X As Single, Y As Single)
If TypeOf Source Is ListView Then
Text1.Text = strHolder
End If
End Sub

Private Sub Text1_DragOver(Source As Control, X As Single, Y As Single, State As Integer)
If TypeOf Source Is ListView Then
If State = 0 Then Text1.BackColor = &HFFFFC0
If State = 1 Then Text1.BackColor = &HFFFFFF
End If
End Sub

Drag And Drop Within Listview
Hi,

I've been using VB6 for a while now, and I've created a couple of programs from it. I've recently started using OLE Drag and Drop to be able to do several things, and all seems well when "copying" an item within the same listview. However, I can't work out how to "move" an item within the same listview. I am able to code it to the point whereby it can detect whether I want to move or copy the item, and whilst I know what to do to copy an item, I do not know how to move an item within a list view.

I hope this makes sense, and if anyone has the answer (which is probably pretty easy), it would be much appriciated.

Tim.

- Copy the file to my another specificed path

My problem is simple, I don't know how to do it! :)

Treeview/Listview Drag And Drop
Hello.

I have 2 questions about dragging into a listview:

1)
Where can I get the code for dragging a specific node from a treeview, into a listview (I just need to add the value of the dragged node as a new record in the listview).

2)
I also look for the code for dragging a file from the desktop into a listview. There are lots of exmaples on the internet for doing this, but I need to drag a file into a listview control (and not any other control).

Thanks,
Edi.

P.S.
I use VB6 and not .NET

Drag And Drop Into Listview Crashes VB
Hi,

I have two multiselect listviews in which I have OLEDrag methods/events handling drag/drop of listitems between them. If I select all of the listitems from one listview, drag and drop into another, it will *usually* cause the VB IDE to crash with a general protection fault! I've tried everything to track this one down and now I'm at my wit's end.

The problem relates only to the OLE drag/drop since I can move the same listitems via a command button (click) procedure call and it works reliably every time.

I cannot be the only one who has experienced this, so if any one has seen this sort of behavior before, please contact me! I'm running VB6 SP6, with latest mscomctl.ocx (6.1.97.86)

Much thanks,
PJ
