Drag drop from Tree or List removes the selected item?

[Anonymous]

When I drag/drop from a list or tree (using OLESetData and OLEStartDrag)
and drag the file into AutoCAD to cause the "_Insert" command, the list
view (or tree) then removes that item from the list. I don't want the
item removed.

Is there a property set somewhere to prevent this? I tried all of the
effects, but nothing - in fact, some of the effects prevents the
"insert" command.

Here's my code:

//set the list or tree to ccOLEAutomatic

//listview is called "lstResults"
//selected file is called "file"

Private Sub lstResults_OLESetData(Data As MSComctlLib.DataObject,
DataFormat As Integer)
Data.Files.Add file
End Sub

Private Sub lstResults_OLEStartDrag(Data As MSComctlLib.DataObject,
AllowedEffects As Long)
Data.Clear
Data.SetData , vbCFFiles
End Sub

*thanks to Randall Rath for the code on this!

This will cause the "insert" command, but removes the list item.

Any ideas?

Thanks as always,

In the OLEStartDrag event handler, the third parameter
specifies what the allowed "effects" are:

vbDropEffectNone
vbDropEffectCopy
vbDropEffectMove

So, I would try setting it to vbDropEffectCopy.

Sorry, I should have described more fully that I tried all of the
"AllowedEffects" with varied success:

vbDropEffectNone: does not allow a drag into AutoCAD, also does not allow drag
to desktop/windows explorer.
vbDropEffectCopy: opens the AutoCAD file (rather than inserting it into the
current drawing), allows drag to desktop/explorer. Does not remove list item
from list.
vbDropEffectMove: inserts the file into AutoCAD, allows drag to
desktop/explorer, but moves the file to the new location. Does not remove the
list item from list.

Not specifying any "vbDropEffects" results in inserting the AutoCAD file into
the current drawing, allows a "copy" drag to desktop/explorer, but removes the
list item from the list.

**Does anyone have a solution that provides the following:

Drag from tree/list to AutoCAD, which causes an "_Insert" command, allows
a "copy" to desktop, and does not remove the list item?

Thanks as always,

Looks like an AutoCAD problem. If the file is dropped in the
drawing view, it should be inserted regardless of whether it's
a copy or move.

Make sure that your OLEDropMode is set to 1 (manual)

Isn't OLEDropMode is for setting whether THAT CONTROL (in this case a listview)
can be dropped to?

Nevertheless, I tried it, but with no success.

Here is the solution for all future peoples:

To drag a file from a listview or tree view into AutoCAD,

//set the list or tree to ccOLEAutomatic

//listview is called "lstResults"
//selected file is called "file"

Private Sub lstResults_OLESetData(Data As MSComctlLib.DataObject,
DataFormat As Integer)
Data.Files.Add file
End Sub

Private Sub lstResults_OLEStartDrag(Data As MSComctlLib.DataObject, AllowedEffects
As Long)
Data.Clear
Data.SetData , vbCFFiles
End Sub

THEN,

Private Sub lstResults_OLECompleteDrag(Effect As Long)
Effect = 1
End Sub

I originally had trouble because I placed the "effect" in the StartDrag event. If
you place the "effect" in the CompleteDrag event it works correctly.

Rockin!
