Ah, I have to correct myself. I thought I had allowed it at least for OLE drag'n'drop, but apparently I could not find any scenario where dragging multiple columns would be useful.

So, dragging multiple column headers at once is not possible. Maybe you can simulate it by technically dragging only the first column, but moving the other columns with it if the dragged column is dropped.

Thanks TiKu, I've used your coding for inserting columns in-between, and it works great. :)
Since it's not possible to drag more than one column at a time, I'm trying to use the same coding to stimulate that dragging event. Once I'm done with it, I'll post it here.

Cheers,
Pete

Hi

While dragging columns, there's a blue line going across between the headers which appears once the dragging starts. Is there any way I could get the position of it, any coordinates or an index where it is positioned? Looks like an insertion mark, but can't figure out how to obtain that information.

And I've sometimes got a problem with autoscrolling when dropping the column after dragging - it just keeps scrolling, and I cannot stop it; it stops automatically once the horizontal scrollbar reaches either end of the listview. :?

Unfortunatly the native list view control is rather limited when it comes to drag'n'drop. You can set the insertion mark, using the SetHeaderInsertMarkPosition method. But there seems to be no way to retrieve the current position of the insertion mark.

Can you reproduce the scrolling bug? Another user has reported it, too. But so far I have not been able to reproduce it.

Hiya

Ok, I've uploaded a project I used before, tweaked a bit for the purpose of reproduction of the problem. Once you've typed in the number of columns you want to add in the text box and clicked the appropriate button, try dragging one of the columns nearest to the right edge of the listview. Keep dragging until the listview starts autoscrolling and then release the mouse button. The scrolling won't stop, whatever you do. You can manually scroll the bar till the very end of the edge in the same direction as you initially started dragging, and it will stop, however, it will start scrolling again and again if you go with the scrollbar in the opposite direction. :(
That's a real bugger.

Another problem seems to be that while dragging the columns, the headers get smeary and it's impossible to make out over which header the dragged column is - all captions disappear. :?

Hi Pete,

Thank you for the instructions how to reproduce this bug. It made it easy for me to fix it. I'll release a new version within the next 24 hours.
