how to change an item in the list of position control by dragging it (drag and drop)?

Question

I have to build a "list control" in which I can insert an item and can change it position by dragging the mouse (drag and drop). I tried the functions "SetItemText (int index, POINT pt) but failed. Anyone have any suggestions? I'm using Visual Studio 6.0.

Answer 1

See if the MFC CDragListBox is suitable.  It is a list box that supports dragging to rearrange the list.

Here are a few articles -

If you just want to rearrange items within the same list control take a look at my article on rearranging items in a listbox.

The concept is exactly the same between the two, you just have to use a CListCtrl base class and the appropriate CListCtrl methods to add and remove items from the list control.

Thank you. I adapted the program to my needs and worked wonderfully well. It took me to correct some errors but it worked.
