Dragging Multiple Items From A Listview
i have some code to let users drag an item from a listview onto a treeview node, which works fine, but now i want to let them drag multiple items.

the problem is that when then select a bunch of items, then drag them to the treeview, it leaves only the last item they clicked on selected (as if they selected them, then just left-clicked one of them). is there a way to keep them all selected?

also, just out of interest, is there a way to make the drag icon include some text from each selected listview item along with an icon (like when you drag multiple files in windows explorer)?

thanks for any help

Disable Selection Of Certain Listview Items
i want to disable selection of certain listview items

deselcting the item when ItemClick is called is a dirty method and isn't complete because the user can still select the item when they hold the mouse button down to make the 'selection field'

Problem With ListView Control And Dragging
I'm trying to drag an item from one ListView control to another but whenever I click on any of the items the first item is selected no matter which I have clicked on. The drag outline does appear over the selected object though. The ListView control is in report view and all the other relevant code is below, can anyone suggest what I've done wrong?

Many thanks
Geoff

Setting up control:
Dim itmX As ListItem

For each record in a recordset:
Set itmX = lsvEvents.ListItems.Add()
itmX.Text = !Name
itmX.Tag = !EventID
itmX.SubItems(1) = !OpenTime

Select Case !EventType
Case Is = "<Project File>"

Items In Listview Control
The structure of the tables are:

Project Table = ProjectID(PK), ProjectName.
Forms Table = FormID(PK), ProjectID, FormName.

Under one project there can be many number of forms. I am displaying all projects in Listview control. I want that when I click on listview control of that particular project it should show me only those forms whcih are related to that project, but now it is displaying all the forms avilable in forms table.

I am writing this code, whats wrong in the code:

VB Code:
Private Sub ListView1_DblClick() Dim sql As String With frmFormList .SY = ListView1.SelectedItem.ListSubItems(1) sql = "select * from FORMS where [ProjectID]='" + .SY + "'" .Show End With Unload MeEnd Sub

Even I have tried to give this sql command but same error:

VB Code:
sql = "SELECT FORMS.FormID, FORMS.FormName FROM PROJECTS INNER JOIN FORMS ON PROJECTS.ProjectID = FORMS.ProjectID WHERE (((FORMS.ProjectID)=' " + .SY + "'"

The error is item cannot be found in the collection corresponding to the requested name or ordinal. How can I fix this problem?

Editing Items In Listview Control
I am using a listview control to add names of children to a list view control. But l want them in edit mode, as soon as they are added to the listview, so l can change the names of them.

my code so far:

VB Code:
set ObjNewChild = LtvChildren.Listitems.add(, , "New Child", 1)LtvChildren.labelEdit = lvwManual

The default of "New Child" is displayed, but l want to be able to edit the name as soon as the item is added. So "New Child" can be edited to "John Smith"

Disable Icon Dragging
Is there anyway to disable the user from resizing a bitmap in a RichEdit? I've tried EM_SETREADONLY, etc, all the properties and methods I can think of it, but none really work. In stuff like MSN Chat and other stuff, when you select the image it just creates a border around it but you can't drag it or anything.

Dragging Items In A Treeview Between Itself
I've got a tree view control in my application and i need to drag its children nodes between the parent nodes. I.e you can be able to change the parent node just by dragging a node from one parent node to anotehr. Is this possible to be done by native VB, or does it need some API involveD?

I've seen several applications using this functionality. Any idea how i can solve this problem?

Folder Items Listed In A Listview Control
What is the fastest way to display a folder's contents in a listview given the path to that folder?
I want to include icons, file size, type... the works.

I've found some optimizations, but it's not enough:

> subclassing the ListView and using a System ImageList instead of the real ImageList control (I tested this)
> scaning the folder with API not the intrisic VB function Dir or the Scripting FileSystemObject (I tested this)
> using a "virtual" listview that is used only to display the data without storing the data in the listview (not tested yet)

If no one knows better, can anyone at least explain me this sample:

http://www.mvps.org/btmtz/vbexplorer/

mostly the part about using "PIDL"

thanks

Listview - Turning Off Dragging
I'm in one of my old apps and noticed that for some reason I used a listview control when a listbox "might" have done the job. My comments aren't as good as they should be (lesson learned). Anyway, since I'm not sure why I used a listview instead of a listbox I'm not willing to replace it. I don't have the time.

So... Is there a property (that I can't find) that turns off dragging of items in the listview control?

Thanks,
Bernie

Please Double Check This Dragging From ListBox To ListView Code For Me
I want to drag an item from a listbox to a listview so starting with my lisbox code:

Private DragID As Integer
Private blnAmDragging As Boolean

Code:
Private Sub lstUnalloc_MouseDown(Button As Integer, Shift As Integer, x As Single, y As Single)
If Button = vbLeftButton Then
DragID = lstUnalloc.ItemData(lstUnalloc.ListIndex)
End If
End Sub

Code:
Private Sub lstUnalloc_MouseMove(Button As Integer, Shift As Integer, x As Single, y As Single)
On Error GoTo errh

If Button = vbLeftButton Then
If lstUnalloc.ListIndex >= 0 Then
blnAmDragging = True
lstUnalloc.Drag vbBeginDrag
End If

End If

Exit Sub

errh:
errmsg "The following Exception occured : " & Err.Description & ", " & Err.Source & "", "Exception occured in frmMain.lstUnalloc_MouseMove ()"

End Sub

and now my listview:

Code:
Private Sub lvwPeople_DragOver(Source As Control, x As Single, y As Single, State As Integer)

On Error GoTo errh

If blnAmDragging = True Then
If State = vbLeave Then
Set lvwPeople.DropHighlight = Nothing
Else
Set lvwPeople.DropHighlight = lvwPeople.HitTest(x, y)
End If
End If

Exit Sub

errh:
errmsg "The following Exception occured : " & Err.Description & ", " & Err.Source & "", "Exception occured in frmMain.lstlist_DragOver()"

End Sub

Code:
Private Sub lvwPeople_DragDrop(Source As Control, x As Single, y As Single)

If Source = "lvwPeople" Then
Exit Sub
End If

Source.Drag vbEndDrag

Set lvwPeople.SelectedItem = lvwPeople.HitTest(x, y)

MsgBox lvwPeople.SelectedItem.Key
MsgBox DragID

End Sub

I just put 2 msgboxes to test. I have to write sql statements to assign the number to a person. I just need someone to check if I am doing the correct stuff for dragging and dropping.
