DragnDrop Listview Items

[thomasp]

Has anyone got some sample code to do drag and drop from one listbox to
another listbox using VB.Net 2005. The below code works for draging and
droping one at a time, but not for multiselected items. I tried setting up
an array to capture the selected items and then move them with the dragndrop
code, but after selecting the items when the user clicks on the items to
drag them the selection goes back to one item. Also I have code for the
listbox doubleclick event that moves whatever item is doubleclicked in one
listbox to the other. This worked fine until I added the dragndrop code to
the mousedown event, now instead of a doubleclick event I get two mousedown
events. I am sure someone has done this and I would appreciate seeing the
code.

Thanks

Thomas

Have a look at this article. It should give you a general idea:

There is also an article that says there are problems at run time with the
listview control:

I hope this helps
