Trying to drag a child node only from a ActiveX TreeView Control to an ActiveX ListView control in VBA for Excel. It works occasionally, but something is wrong. I'm unable to consistently get the drag event to fire (sometimes it works, sometimes not) or, when it does, determine what was selected to add to the listivew.


My TreeView has the following nodes


-US (tag='parent')
-West (tag='parent')
-CA (tag='child')
-WA (tag='child')
-East (tag='parent')
-NY (tag='child')
-FL (tag='child')

In the above, I only want the drag to work on the nodes taged as 'child'. My attempted code is as follows:


Code:
Dim MyTreeNode As Node
Dim MyText As String


Private Sub TreeView1_MouseMove(ByVal Button As Integer, ByVal Shift As Integer, ByVal X As stdole.OLE_XPOS_PIXELS, ByVal Y As stdole.OLE_YPOS_PIXELS)
    Dim MyDataObject As DataObject
    Dim Effect As Integer


    If Button = 1 Then
        'For some reason this executes multple times even though I'm only picking one node.
        Debug.Print TreeView1.SelectedItem.Text


        If InStr(1, TreeView1.SelectedItem.Tag, "Child") > 0 Then
            Set MyTreeNode = TreeView1.SelectedItem
            Set MyDataObject = New DataObject


            MyText = TreeView1.SelectedItem.Text
            MyDataObject.SetText MyText
            Effect = MyDataObject.StartDrag
        End If
    End If
End Sub


Private Sub ListView1_OLEDragDrop(Data As MSComctlLib.DataObject, Effect As Long, Button As Integer, Shift As Integer, X As Single, Y As Single)
    Dim MyListViewItem As ListItem
    Set MyListViewItem = ListView1.ListItems.Add(1, "M" & MyTreeNode.Key, MyTreeNode.Text)
End Sub
 

Excel Facts

Best way to learn Power Query?
Read M is for (Data) Monkey book by Ken Puls and Miguel Escobar. It is the complete guide to Power Query.
Well no one replied, but I was able to find my own answer. I also asked the same question on another forumn (where no one replied either.... maybe I asked it in the wrong way) and answered it myself there with a lengthy post. You can read it there in case anyone else needs help.


VBA Drag Drop From TreeView to ListView & ListView to TreeView (ActiveX Controls) - Stack Overflow

Hi

I've read your solution. It's great and simple. However, it only covers from TreeView to ListView. Do you have a sample code for dragging an item from ListView to TreeView? Thank you in advance.
