Drag & Drop LV item, and draw line while dragging

[MrCreatoR]

Hi,

I am currently trying to make a dragable listview item(s), and i want to display a line that will indicate where it should be dropped.

I managed to make the drag & drop operation (modified from some old script that i found here on the forum), but i have problem with the line drawing, it's drawn, but not properly, i need to refresh the items before draw any new line, but here is the problem, sometimes there is two (or more) lines drawn

Eventually i would like to modify it in the way that allows to drag & drop more than one item, but for now i only need to solve the line drawing issue.

Here is what i got so far:

This seems to work, though you can't move an item to the end but I haven't worried about that.

Thanks martin! it works well.

I will try to fix the issue with last item, and also there is issue with CopyItem function call, sometimes it's not called, even if the item is above/bellow other item.

[Verssuss]

can u select more then 1 item ?

[JLogan3o13]

@Verssuss please don't resurrect old threads - it has been almost 12 years since this question was asked, I highly doubt the user is still waiting for an answer.
