Hi, Kedaman,
If you look in the tips section, tip #66 shows how to drag and drop into list boxes.

http://www.vb-world.com/tips/tip66.html

hmm.. Kedaman's code is less complicated and works great! (i use it too!)

the Tip, could be useful too, (thanks Nemo) if you have controls without OLEDragDrop events ;)

Code:

Option Explicit

'Here 's one way that you can let users drag items from one list
'and drop them in another one.
'Create two lists (list1, list2)and a text box (text1)

Private Sub Form_Load()
' Set the visible property of text1 to false
  Text1.Visible = False

'Add items to list1
  List1.AddItem "This"
  List1.AddItem "Example"
  List1.AddItem "Comes To You"
  List1.AddItem "Compliments of someone and me."
  List1.AddItem "somewhere on planet earth"
  List1.AddItem "Enjoy!"
  '
End Sub

'In the mouseDown event of the list list1 put the following code:

Private Sub list1_MouseDown(Button As Integer, _
Shift As Integer, X As Single, y As Single)
   
    Dim z As Integer
    z = List1.ListIndex
   
'do the drag
    Text1.Text = List1.Text
    Text1.Top = y + List1.Top
    Text1.Left = X + List1.Left
    Text1.Drag
   
'remove item from list1 and refresh listcount
    List1.RemoveItem (z)
    List1.Refresh
'if empty disable the box as it will result in error's on empty
    If List1.ListCount = 0 Then
          List1.Enabled = False
    End If
 
 
  '
End Sub

'In the dragDrop event of the list list2 put the following code:

Private Sub list2_DragDrop(Source As Control, X As Single, y As Single)  '
  List2.AddItem Text1.Text
End Sub

'Now you can drag items from list1 and drop them in list2.

i put the code you give me above Form_OLEDragDrop but and i have 2 listbox but it's not working for me if you know why help me.

forgot one thing, set the form Ole_dropmode property to 1-Manual :) Should work fine.

BTW, HeSaidJoe, one thing i've been thinking about many times, why you put <?> in the post subjects? :)

kedeman...

the matter of the subject is the question

ie: subject = ? 'cept it's in brackets.
