ListBox - Mover

[rkbnair]

Is there any listbox type controls using which I can change the order of the
items and also select an item (by check marking)?

I know the standard listbox has a select method but NO order change method.

Thanks in advance,

RK.

rkbnair,
What are you using? in VB 6.0, the ListBox control has a Sorted Property.
You can set it at design time, or at runtime.

How are you populating the ListBox, is it a bound control, or are you using
code?

If bound, is it bound to a table, or a query?

If a Query, can't you change the sort order of the query? If a Table, then
create a query to retrieve the values from the table, and set the sort order
in the query.


Also, with the standard listbox control, change the style to CheckBox, and
you will get a checkbox for each line to indicate that it was selected.

Arthur,
I'm sorry, I didn't explain it correctly. I want the end user be able to
change the order of the items in the list box. May be by clicking and dragging
items or so.

Sorry for that, and thank you.

RK.

Arther, it is again me.

Check out the controls over at ccrp. One of the guys there wrote one.. I
forget who it was now, I think Karl. Anyway, http://www.mvps.org/ccrp

There are a lot of great controls there.

You could always add a button (Labelled "Sort") and then in its click event,

Private Sub cmdSort_Click()
' this will toggle the Sorted Property
ListBox1.Sorted = Not ListBox1.Sorted
end Sub

will this accomplish what you need. Otherwise check out ccrp as another
poster suggested.

Put a ListBox in a new project (leave its Name as the default of List1).
Paste this code into the Form's code window and Run the project.

********START PASTE********
Dim DragIndex As Long

Private Sub Form_Load()
With List1
For X = 0 To 30
.AddItem "Item #" & CStr(X + 1)
Next
End With
End Sub

Private Sub List1_MouseDown(Button As Integer, _
Shift As Integer, X As Single, Y As Single)
With List1
DragIndex = .ListIndex
End With
End Sub

Private Sub List1_MouseUp(Button As Integer, _
Shift As Integer, X As Single, Y As Single)
With List1
If DragIndex <> .ListIndex Then
ListText = .List(DragIndex)
.RemoveItem DragIndex
.AddItem ListText, .ListIndex
.ListIndex = .NewIndex
End If
End With
End Sub
********END PASTE********

Now click on an item and move your cursor to a new spot in the list. When
you release the mouse button, the item will be moved to the location of the
mouse indicator. Was that the functionality you were after?

Appreciate the recommend, George, but the DragList style is incompatable with
Checkboxes. Wish it weren't so, but it is.
