Question

I have a MyListView class that is inheriting from ListView, and is overriding OnDragDrop() (and the other necessary events to implement drag and drop). When I place two of these MyListviews on a form I am able to drag an item from one of them and drop it to the other one. This part works.

Now I want to override OnDoubleClick() to that class such that again if I place two of these MyListViews on a form and double clicked on one of them, the item gets removed from that and gets added to the other one. But I can’t get my head around how to do this one.
Could you please give me some ideas? Thanks.

Don’t know if you manage the sleection of the item in a particular way, but you can

• or after handling double-click look for SelectedItems and act on it

• or you can add a code like this using ListViewHitTestInfo class:

  private override OnDoubleClick(...)    
  {
  
     ListViewHitTestInfo hit = this.HitTest(e.Location);
     if (hit.Item != null)
     {
        ListViewItem doubleClickedItem = hit.Item; 
     }
  }
