That is strange indeed. I used the following code to test the behaviour of
Clone and it works perfectly
For Each item As ListViewItem In ListView1.SelectedItems
Dim newItem As ListViewItem = CType(item.Clone(), ListViewItem)
ListView2.Items.Add(newItem)
Next
This is invoked from a button click event handler

wierd... it says that for me... throws an exception and says the item
already blongs to another parent... this is in VS 2005... had the same
thing happen in a different program in VS.NET 2003

news:ed**************@TK2MSFTNGP12.phx.gbl... The ListViewItem.Clone method works just fine in both 2003 and 2005. It
doesn't copy the parent/owner

news:eN**************@TK2MSFTNGP11.phx.gbl... So what is the easiest way to do this? I have one list view with a list
of items (in detail view and with about 20 sub items) and a second list
view that will take the items they drag from the first one to the second
one. I tried this once a few years ago by trying to clone the list view
item so i didnt have to recreate it, but ran into the problem of the
item already had a parent... i dont want to remove the items from the
first list when they are dragged... what is the easiest way to "clone" a
list view item from one list to another? or do i have to manually create
a new list view item on drop to add to the new list and manually reset
all those subitems... which is tedious... thanks!
