TreeView Drag Drop

hi

i need to perform drag and drop operation

TreeView --- TreeView
TreeView --- ListView
ListView --- TreeView

so one at a time... i have tried a bit but seem to have a problem...

Code:

---


Private Sub TV_ORG_DragEnter(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.Windows.Forms.DragEventArgs) Handles TV_ORG.DragEnter
        e.Effect = DragDropEffects.Move
    End Sub

Private Sub TV_ORG_ItemDrag(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.Windows.Forms.ItemDragEventArgs) Handles TV_ORG.ItemDrag
        DoDragDrop(e.Item, DragDropEffects.Move)
    End Sub

    Private Sub TV_ORG_DragDrop(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.Windows.Forms.DragEventArgs) Handles TV_ORG.DragDrop
        Dim Nd As TreeNode
        Try
            Dim newNode As TreeNode = New TreeNode(e.Data.GetData("System.Windows.Forms.TreeNode"))
            If Nd.Equals(newNode) = False Then
                Nd.Nodes.Add(New TreeNode(newNode.Clone))
                newNode.Remove()
            End If
        Catch ex As Exception
            StatusBar1.Panels(0).Text = ex.Message
        End Try
    End Sub

the problem area look like  when i debug it...

            Dim newNode As TreeNode = New TreeNode(e.Data.GetData("System.Windows.Forms.TreeNode"))

the error i get is

Cast fro TreeNode to String is not Valid :confused:

welll

nothing ...just nothing...

Private Sub TreeView1_ItemDrag(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.Windows.Forms.ItemDragEventArgs) Handles TreeView1.ItemDrag

Dim nodX As TreeNode
'Gets the text from the node and passes it to the DragDrop Procedure
nodX = CType(e.Item, TreeNode)
DoDragDrop(nodX.Text, DragDropEffects.Copy)
End Sub



Private Sub TreeView1_MouseDown(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.Windows.Forms.MouseEventArgs) Handles TreeView1.MouseDown

'Gets the node from the position the MouseDown Event was started
Dim NodX As TreeNode = TreeView1.GetNodeAt(New Drawing.Point(e.X, e.Y))
'Sets the node to be selected
TreeView1.SelectedNode = NodX
End Sub



Private Sub TreeView2_DragEnter(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.Windows.Forms.DragEventArgs) Handles TreeView2.DragEnter

e.Effect = DragDropEffects.Copy
End Sub



Private Sub TreeView2_DragDrop(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.Windows.Forms.DragEventArgs) Handles TreeView2.DragDrop

'Creates a new Treenode, sets the text of the Treenode to the Text from the DropEvent Argument
Dim nodX As New TreeNode(e.Data.GetData(DataFormats.Text))
TreeView2.Nodes.Add(nodX)
End Sub



This should work in the same way for a ListView as well. Just substitute a ListItem for the TreeNode.

you could also do it like this :

VB Code:

Private Sub TreeView1_ItemDrag(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.Windows.Forms.ItemDragEventArgs) Handles TreeView1.ItemDrag
        Dim myNode As TreeNode = DirectCast(e.Item, TreeNode)
        DoDragDrop(myNode.Text, DragDropEffects.Copy)
    End Sub
 
    Private Sub TreeView2_DragEnter(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.Windows.Forms.DragEventArgs) Handles TreeView2.DragEnter
        e.Effect = DragDropEffects.Copy
    End Sub
 
    Private Sub TreeView2_DragDrop(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.Windows.Forms.DragEventArgs) Handles TreeView2.DragDrop
        TreeView2.Nodes.Add(e.Data.GetData(DataFormats.Text))
    End Sub

hope it helps :)
