Drag And Drop/Explorer Styling

[EdB]

I am trying to mimic a behviour and obviously having some trouble with it.

Open up two Windows Explorer windows. Select a file in (1) and drag it to a
folder in (2). Prior to dropping it, the now "target" folder highlights as
selected, confirming to the user that that is where it's going. The best I
can do is get the Arrow with a dotted rectangle below it and then highlight
the target AFTER the drop has been made.

For information purposes, I am dragging from a TreeView to a ListBox, though
I have some flexibility on the to......I can go to another TreeView or
ListView. I have tried this with both of these controls with the same
result. Thanks in advance.

You could likely select the target during the dragover event...

If you can use Win32 API interop, you can use the LVIS_DROPHILITED state for
the ListViewItem
