Listview drag and drop images to picturebox

[sumit0405]

Hi,

Does anyone have some example code they
can direct me too for drag dropping images
from a listview to PictureBox???

I have googled but not found anything I can get to work.

The only way I know of to do drag and drop from within your application is to manage it yourself using the MouseDown and MouseUp events.

In the MouseDown event on the ListView store the image that is being dragged. Then you check to see if there is an image being dragged in the MouseUp event and handle it. You'll have to implement the MouseUp event on all controls to clear out the current image being dragged if the user drags the image to somewhere other than the PictureBox.

C#, piece of cake...

I assume that the images in the listview are in an ImageList?
In your mouse down event....
listView1.DoDragDrop(listView1.SelectedItems, DragDropEffects.Move);

In the picturebox's DragEnter event...

int len=e.Data.GetFormats().Length-1 ;
int i;
for (i = 0 ; i<=len ;i++)
{
if (e.Data.GetFormats()[i].Equals("System.Windows.Forms.ListView+SelectedLis tViewItemCollection"))
{
//The data from the drag source is moved to the target.
e.Effect = DragDropEffects.Move;
}
}

In your picturebox's DragDrop event

//Return if the items are not selected in the ListView control.
if(listView1.SelectedItems.Count==0)
{
return;
}
ListViewItem dragitem=listView1.SelectedItems[0];
PictureBox1.Image=ImageList1.Images[dragitem.ImageIndex].Image;
listView1.Items.Remove(dragItem);
}

This is pretty close... Some syntax errors may exist as I am doing this without the help of VS2010 at the moment.
