Moving items in a Listview object

Greetings all

I have a problem here which involves a ListView object, filled with ListViewItems. This may be a very easy problem for some of you guys on here...

What i need is a way to move the selected ListViewItem up and down in the ListView object.

I have two buttons, marked "Move up", and "Move down".

Some help would be very cool :)

Tchau!!

I found this code from a link that someone put on this website. I don't remember exactly where it is, and I apoligize to the person that made this code for not giving you recognition. But I assume since it was posted on here, you don't mind that it was public. So now that you have your answer, do you know a good way to print items in a ListView?

VB Code:

Private Sub MoveListViewItem (ByRef lv as ListView, ByVal MoveUp as Boolean)
     Dim I As Integer
     Dim cache As String
     Dim selIdx As Integer
 
     With lv
          selIdx = .SelectedItems.Item(0).Index
          If MoveUp Then
               'ignore moveup of row(0)
               If selIdx = 0 Then
                    Exit Sub
               End If
               'move the subitems for the previous row
               'to cache so we can move the selected row up
               For i = 0 To .Items(SelIdx).SubItems.Count - 1
                    cache = .Items(selIdx - 1).SubItems(i).Text
                    .Items(selIdx - 1).SubItems(i).Text = .Items selIdx).SubItems(i).Text
                    .Items(selIdx).SubItems(i).Text = cache
               Next
               .Items(selIdx - 1).Selected = True
               .Refresh()
               .Focus()
           Else
               'ignore move down of last row
               If selIdx = .Items.Count - 1 Then
                    Exit Sub
               End If
               'move the subitems for the next row
               'to cache so we can move the selectedrow down
               For i = 0 To .Items(SelIdx).SubItems.Count - 1
                    cache = .Items(selIdx + 1).SubItems(i).Text
                    .Items(selIdx + 1).SubItems(i).Text = .Items selIdx).SubItems(i).Text
                    .Items(selIdx).SubItems(i).Text = cache
               Next
               .Items(selIdx + 1).Selected = True
               .Refresh()
               .Focus()
            End If

Now Code the MoveUp and MoveDown buttons to do the appropriate actions.

For the MoveUp:

VB Code:

If ListView.SelectedIndicies.Count = 0 Then Exit Sub
MoveListViewItem(ListView, MoveUp:=True)

And the MoveDown:

VB Code:

If ListView.SelectedIndicies.Count = 0 Then Exit Sub
MoveListViewItem(ListView, MoveUp:=False)
