Hi all,
I have read a lot of postings and web pages about drag and drop
and treeviews, but could not find an answer to my problem. Sorry, if I
missed something.
I am trying to drag and drop treenodes defined by myself and
don't understand, how to get the nodes data in the dragdrop event.
I'm not very experienced in .NET and for sure there is a simple solution.
I've written a short sample program, based on well known examples,
so explanation is easier. If I made no copy error, interested readers
can copy and run the samples in a few seconds.
The first listing is the program, with normal treenodes. This version works
fine.
At first a few nodes are attached to the tree automatically. Next you can
select some nodes and childs are attached to the selected nodes. Now we are
ready to drag and drop.
Listing 2 is nearly the same, but now the nodes are defined by myself. This
version is not working. Seems to me that I don't understand, how to get
the data in the dragdrop event or it simply doesn't work this way. More
comments are in listing 2.
Listing 3 is a workaround. The last selected node is saved and in the
dragdrop event stored to the new node and deleted at the old node. But I
have to click twice on the node to move. First to select and than to move.
Any hints or pointers to working examples are welcome. Thanks for your
efforts.
