Changing position of ListViewItem

[Padu]

I've been searching the newsgroup for an answer but probably with the wrong
keywords...

Imagine that I have a ListView with some items and the listview view is
Details. How do I move an item up or down the list?

Cheers

Hmm ... I haven't tried it, but can't you just remove and reinsert items in
the ListView.Items collection?

I thought about that, but it seemed too cumbersome and counterintuitiv e at
that time. I thought that the problem was soo obvious and I was surely
missing something. I there's not a more elegant solution, I'll do that.

According to the Help,
ListViewItem has an Index property.
See if this helps you.

public int Index { get; }

That's how I do in other languages (aka Delphi). In Delphi, the ItemIndex
property is read/write, in C# it is read only (as you posted above). I'm
starting to think that there's no other way than deleting the item and
re-inserting at the position you want... I expected more.

Ok, that's how I've done it:
private void mniEditUp_Click (object sender, EventArgs e)
{
if (!AreThereSelec tedItems()) return;

//we want to insert one position above, if not the first one
if (SelectedItem() .Index 0)
{
int idx = SelectedItem(). Index - 1;
ListViewItem item = (ListViewItem)S electedItem().C lone();

SelectedItem(). Remove();

ListViewItem inserted = lvwCommands.Ite ms.Insert(idx, item);
inserted.Select ed = true;
inserted.Focuse d = true;

RefreshListEdit GUICommands();
}
}
I don't know if it's the best way to do it, but it works...
