In a Windows App (Visual Studio)(VB) how do you drag and drop a single row to another postition to allow for the user to re-order the row? I haven't found any worthy examples for this yet.
Here is a vb version from this C# answer: How could I Drag and Drop DataGridView Rows under each other?
The form class variables:
Private fromIndex As Integer
Private dragIndex As Integer
Private dragRect As Rectangle
The drag events:
Private Sub DataGridView1_DragDrop(ByVal sender As Object, _
ByVal e As DragEventArgs) _
Handles DataGridView1.DragDrop
Dim p As Point = DataGridView1.PointToClient(New Point(e.X, e.Y))
dragIndex = DataGridView1.HitTest(p.X, p.Y).RowIndex
If (e.Effect = DragDropEffects.Move) Then
Dim dragRow As DataGridViewRow = e.Data.GetData(GetType(DataGridViewRow))
DataGridView1.Rows.RemoveAt(fromIndex)
DataGridView1.Rows.Insert(dragIndex, dragRow)
End If
End Sub
Private Sub DataGridView1_DragOver(ByVal sender As Object, _
ByVal e As DragEventArgs) _
Handles DataGridView1.DragOver
e.Effect = DragDropEffects.Move
End Sub
The mouse events:
Private Sub DataGridView1_MouseDown(ByVal sender As Object, _
ByVal e As MouseEventArgs) _
Handles DataGridView1.MouseDown
fromIndex = DataGridView1.HitTest(e.X, e.Y).RowIndex
If fromIndex > -1 Then
Dim dragSize As Size = SystemInformation.DragSize
dragRect = New Rectangle(New Point(e.X - (dragSize.Width / 2), _
e.Y - (dragSize.Height / 2)), _
dragSize)
Else
dragRect = Rectangle.Empty
End If
End Sub
Private Sub DataGridView1_MouseMove(ByVal sender As Object, _
ByVal e As MouseEventArgs) _
Handles DataGridView1.MouseMove
If (e.Button And MouseButtons.Left) = MouseButtons.Left Then
If (dragRect <> Rectangle.Empty _
AndAlso Not dragRect.Contains(e.X, e.Y)) Then
DataGridView1.DoDragDrop(DataGridView1.Rows(fromIndex), _
DragDropEffects.Move)
End If
End If
End Sub
Make sure you have the grids AllowDrop
property set to true.
