I have an MDI client, and I have a listview inside it. I want it to be kinda like a desktop feature. The problem is that whenever you open a MDI child and you drag it to the listview, it goes under it.
View 6 RepliesI 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.

I have a media browser program I am building. I am trying to use drag/drop so a user can drag media tracks from one listview to another listview and then use the second list view as a playlist in windows media player com object. Reading at MSDN I have found out that there is no built in support for item re-ordering with the listview control. I have listview1 working correctly but when I try to reorder items in listview2, the dragged item ends up at the end of the list. So basically I need to get the item insertion index corrected. I have tried more than 10 times to get this code right.
Here is my code which includes a form with two listview's.
Public Class Form1
Private Sub ListView_ItemDrag(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As _
System.Windows.Forms.ItemDragEventArgs) Handles ListView1.ItemDrag, _
ListView2.ItemDrag

I have 3 forms, one frmMain - main form, second is frmUserType- childform, and the last frmCreateUserType. In the main form I have a menu item to open my frmUserType, In this form I have a button to open another form which is my frmCreateUserType, In this form I have a button to add records then update the listview in frmUserType. The problem is the listview will not access with my add button control in frmCreateUserType. I tried not to used mdiparent declaration for my frmMain and frmUserType as children and it works, so meaning that the problem is showing my frmUserType as childform?I am using vb.net 2008

I am trying to implement a drag and drop operation in a listview (the listview is set for Details). The idea is to be able to allow the user to select one or more items and then "move" them elsewhere in the list.and modified it some because that example does the operation between two listviews, and here I am trying to do everything in the same one.Here's the code as I have it:
Private Sub ListView1_ItemDrag(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.Windows.Forms.ItemDragEventArgs) Handles ListView1.ItemDrag

I am converting my company's VB6 program over to VB.net and I have hit another stupid little roadblock.
The old program had a ListView docked to the left side of the application screen. The user could place the cursor over the right portion of the ListView, the cursor would turn into the SizeWE arrows, then they could drag it, which would resize the ListView.
I am trying to recreate this. As far as I can tell there is no Property called "Resizable," or at least nothing is popping out to me. I do not believe that it is being done in the code.
Is there a property I am missing? If not, is there an easy way to do this within the code? (ie. is there a event that would make my life easier)
I am using Visual Studio 2008.
Edit: I see how how it was done in the previous program (you always seem to find it once you ask the question, don't you?). The old program had a invisible picture that was only a few pixels wide that when hovered over would change the cursor to SizeWE. You could then drag that invisible picture and that would hit an event that would then change the size of the ListView. This seems rather convoluted. My question still stands: Is there a better way to handle this dragging and resizing?
In the attached program, I have 3 listviews.
1 is Source Invoices
2 and 3 is Customers.
When I drag something from ListView1 - it stays there, and turns a different color to show it has already been assigned. It stays in the list. This is what I want. When I drag something between 2 and 3, it should delete from the source and clone to the destination. It does this when I move 1 at a time, but if I select multiples (try 5 records) it does 3 of them, then the source list gets an error:
System.NullReferenceException: Object reference not set to an instance of an object.
If I highlight all 5 items in list 2 or 3 - then select the top item as the item to drag across, it seems to work.
If I highlight all 5 items in list 2 or 3 - then select the middle item as the item to drag across, it seems to NOT work.
I have tried going from top of list to bottom. Then thought, since I am deleting rows, maybe I should start at bottom and work up. Same thing?

View 1 RepliesThis is a little diffrent from your standard drag and drop, but I am trying to find out a way to support drag and drop, from a list control, which is displaying a list of files, held as "blobs" in a SQL database (compressed data in my own format). When the form is opened, I obtain a list of all the file names within that given table in the database, and display it to the user in the list view control. The user then has the option of dragging that ListItem from the ListView on to the dektop (or other directory location). Upon doing so, I need to be able to read the data from SQL, decompress the data (in my own format) and then save it as a file at the dropped location.
My main problem is detecting when the ListItem is dropped outside of my application, as I want to use this dropping event to trigger the code in to obtaining a copy of that file from the database, and save it in to the "dropped" directory, where ever that may be.
So Im mainly looking in to how I can "see" the final location where the item is dropped, and how I can start off the drag and drop operation in the first place with no initial data (since I have not obtained the file at the start of the operation). Getting the file at the start of the drag and drop operation intoduces "lag" while the application makes the trip to the SQL database (via web service) and obtains the data, so I need to carry out that trip to the database, at the end, while still allowing "Windows" to act as if I am dragging and dropping a file...
I did consider multi-theading, and downloaind the file from the database while the drag and drop operation is in progress, but then it becomes a race between the data being obtained from the database, and the user dropping the file.
Im using VS2005, SQL 2005 where the file is stored as a blog. SQL is on another PC running a web service which I interact with, to allow my application to talk to the database over both a LAN and WiFi via the internet. Compression and de-compression is handed at the client side application (for the file itself, in order to reduce the footprint created by the internet traffic) , where the user interface is displayed.
In WinXP with LV FullRowSelect enabled I can press and hold down the left mouse button and drag it down the right side of the left-most LV column and the rows are selected, but under Win7 I can only multiselect items with the mouse if FullRowSelect is set to false.
So I guess I need to write code to support this sort of feature for Win7 ? , and if true are there any code examples (I can't find anything) to save me some time?
I want to drag-drop single text items from ListView-A to ListView-B (both are in Details mode), but can't see how to read (and hence highlight) the index of the line in ListView-B when the mouse is hovering over it. Easy in a ListBox, but the PointToClient > IndexFromPoint features don't work with ListView controls and I just can't see another way .
