Hi All,

I am trying to do drag n drop effect from the values of the checkedboxlist
to a textbox and the code works fine as expected. But the checkedboxlist
loses it characteristics ie single click on the check box of the item.

I have written a mousedown event on the checkedboxlist for drag n drop
effect and it prevents the single click event of the checkbox item. How can I
overcome this problem?

TIA,
Holy

Here is my code,

Please create a new form named form1 and add a textbox and checkedboxlist
into the form and paste this code


Private Sub CheckedListBox1_MouseDown(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As
System.Windows.Forms.MouseEventArgs) Handles CheckedListBox1.MouseDown
CheckedListBox1.DoDragDrop(CheckedListBox1.SelectedItem,
DragDropEffects.Copy)
End Sub

Private Sub TextBox1_DragDrop(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As
System.Windows.Forms.DragEventArgs) Handles TextBox1.DragDrop

If e.Data.GetDataPresent(GetType(System.String)) Then
TextBox1.Text = DirectCast(e.Data.GetData(GetType(String)),
String)
End If
TextBox1.BorderStyle = BorderStyle.Fixed3D
End Sub

Private Sub TextBox1_DragEnter(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As
System.Windows.Forms.DragEventArgs) Handles TextBox1.DragEnter
If e.Data.GetDataPresent(GetType(System.String)) Then
e.Effect = DragDropEffects.Copy
TextBox1.BorderStyle = BorderStyle.FixedSingle
End If
End Sub

Only set a flag (Boolean) in MouseDown. Start dragging in the MouseMove
event but only if the flag is set (and reset the flag). Also reset the flag
in MouseUp. You should also limit these action to the left mouse button.
