Drag And Drop With ListViews
Jul 7, 2011
I am currently making an application manager program that allows users to create application shortcuts which are represented as ListViewItems. One feature that my testers keep suggesting is way to drag a normal desktop shortcut into my application, thus avoiding having to recreate lots of application shortcuts.I am pretty clueless as to how to accomplish this, if it is even possible. However, if it can be done, the information i need to extract from the shortcuts are: The name of the shortcut, The associated icon location/file, A description of the program (if there is one), and the executable file location.Also, in the same boat as shortcut drag and drop, just not as difficult- I also am wondering how i could drag and drop ListViewItems into different orders and/or groups.

I found and am using this code to move items from listview1 to listview2.Private Sub ListView1_ItemDrag(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.Windows.Forms.ItemDragEventArgs) Handles ListView1.ItemDrag, ListView1.ItemDrag Dim myItem As ListViewItem
[Code]...
I am planning on having 12 - 14 listviews on my form.Do I have to copy the above code and name each source and destination listview for all combinations that I want to drag to and from? Or, is there code that will 'read' the source listview1 name when clicking an item from the list and 'read' the listview2 name when the cursor is on the listview I am dropping the item into.Been searching but probably not using correct terms.

I am using Excel 2007, VS2008 Pro.I am building a VSTO Add-in that requires "drag and drop from Excel cells to a drag-enabled task pane".So far I notice that I can only drag and drop within the cells themselves. It does not allow me to drop into the task Pane or drag past the sheet limits.(http:)[url]...
Note: The task pane has drag drop enabled, I ahve already tested I can drag/drop from task pane to excel but I need to do this the other way around?

I am trying to figure out a way to include the listview's tag field when dragging one listview's subitems into another listview. I am hoping someone here has experience with this. My Listview drag code is below - the two listviews that I am dragging subitems into or from are LV1 and LV3. Also, this is being done in Visual Basic 2008 and the project is a windows application.

drag and drop nodes within the same tree (not between trees) when users drag and drop nodes within the tree, give them the option to move the original node to a new location within the tree OR to just copy the original node in a new location (seems complex but I have a month to figure this out). change the system default blue highlight for selected nodes to another color change the system default cursors for invalid and valid drops (instead of the circle with slash indicating invalid target, i want a red minus) and (instead of the little plus sign with little box indicating a valid target, i want just a big green plus sign) add a red insert line to indicate where the node would be dropped within a tree also drag and drop the text of a node from the tree to a textbox add a "folder" image next to parent nodes and a "document" image next to children nodes
I have looked through the internet but I am having difficulty sorting through all the information available (I see a lot of information for Visual Basic 5 and 6, and those codes don't work for me in visual studio 2008). I can email anyone my code I have so far.

Is it possible to reorder the elements of a drop down list (combobox) via drag and drop?For example, when the list is dropped down, I want the user to be able to drag the items up or down to reorder them. I tried this (and some google searching) but I'm wondering if its just not possible:
Private Sub cmbClassLists_MouseDown(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.Windows.Forms.MouseEventArgs) Handles cmbClassLists.MouseDown
If cmbClassLists.DroppedDown And Not cmbClassLists.SelectedIndex = -1 Then

I want to be able to hold CTRL down to select multiple text entries and drag them all to certain text boxes. Or even one at a time, but once I try dragging another word into the box it replace the first one. Is there any way to just have it add to the text box rather than replace it?
And if possible, place a "-" between each entry?
This is the pop-up form with the listbox that contains the words to drag:
Private Sub ListBox1_MouseDown(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.Windows.Forms.MouseEventArgs) Handles ListBox1.MouseDown
ListBox1.DoDragDrop(ListBox1.SelectedItem, DragDropEffects.Copy)

I am writing a small program that has two list box's which are populated from my sql database. I want to drag an item from LB1 to column1 in a datagridview and drag an item from LB2 to column2 in the same datagridview.
I am getting close, but I am having trouble getting the data to drop. I did some testing and I can drop a string, but I am not able to get the string data from my listbox. I just get a datarowview. I see the string inside the "itemarray", but cannot get to it.
Here is my dodragdrop:
LB_OriginalPallets.DoDragDrop(LB_OriginalPallets.SelectedItems(indexOfOldPalletToDrag), DragDropEffects.Copy)

I am trying to generate buttons and allow the user to drag and drop them.
I have this sub:
Sub Form1_MouseClick(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.Windows.Forms.MouseEventArgs) Handles Me.MouseClick
Dim nodebtn As New Button
[Code]....
Also if I declare the nodebtn as a global variable, I do not face this problem, the button is dragable. However when I click to add new buttons, no new button is generated, instead a button is generated with the count on it.

I have this app that gets the files/subdirectories from a selected one (it stores the files with their icon in a listview), I was wondering how could I drag a selected file from the listview into another directory (outside of the form), let's say the desktop.
How can I do this? I have only found examples of how to do drag/drop within the same form.

I am very new to Visual Basic, but I am trying to build a simple program, and how to create a drag and drop that works, but I can't seem to figure out how to change the display as I drag across the screen. Basically, right now I have a circle with a line through it that goes across my screen as I drag and what I would like is for it to be the text that I am dragging that drags across the screen, just like a file on my desktop would do when I grab it and try to drag it somewhere else on the desktop. I have put my code in below, how to get rid of the circle with the line through it, and replace it with the actually text that I am trying to drag. I am using Visual Basic 2010
Public Class frmDragDrop
Private Sub labelMouseDown(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.Windows.Forms.MouseEventArgs) Handles lbdragfrom.MouseDown
lbdragfrom.DoDragDrop(lbdragfrom.Text, DragDropEffects.Copy)
End Sub

I've seen the code on this site to setup a drag-and-drop between 2 listboxes (and that works perfectly for me), but I have a need to be able to move items between up to 12 listboxes. For example, I move an item from listbox1 to listbox2; at some point in the future, I need to be able to move that same item from listbox2 to listbox3, then at another point in time from listbox3 back to listbox1, etc. When I make these moves, I need the item to be removed from its previous location. I've attempted to modify the 2-listbox code to include, on my test form, a third listbox, but that code copies to the third listbox, and when I attempt to move the item from the third listbox to the second, it, too, only copies and does not remove the item from listbox3.

I am trying to make a nifty little drag control.I have a custom list that I start the drag from.As i enter a main panel for my program, I create a control that is made from the source control.I then draw the control to a bitmap, create a nativewindow that is semitrasparent and draw the bitmap to it...giving the transparent file drag illusion.It all works great if I drag the control just under the cursor. If I draw it on the cursor, it changes focus to the nativewindow.I would like to know how to either be able to keep the focus on the panel so that the dragleave is not fired until the panel is left or interupt the underlying commands so that I can pass the info to the panel.
