Rearrange the order of a listbox with the mouse

Can anyone tell me how to code the listbox so I can move an item up and down
the listbox with the mouse. For example, the play list in Winamp 5 can be
sorted by you selecting a song and moving it up or down the play list by
selecting it with the mouse and dragging it where you want.
The list box gets the contents from a .txt file. (if you need more info
please let me know)

Many Thanks

Well basically you need to drag and drop the listbox items. What you
need to do is that when the item is dragged and dropped you need to
remove the item from the listbox using Remove() method and then insert
it at the new location using the Insert() method of the listbox.

For more info on how to drag and drop see the following articles
