In a posting in the Microsoft.Windows.Forms newsgroup, Brian Roder (Microsoft) gives VB.Net code snippets to handle the DragEnter, ItemDrag and DragDrop events that provide a solution to this problem. You can get C# code in this sample, TreeViewDnD. Here is some sample handlers.
private void treeView2_DragDrop(object sender, System.Windows.Forms.DragEventArgs e)
{
TreeNode newNode;
if( e.Data.GetDataPresent(''System.Windows.Forms.TreeNode'', false))
{
Point pt;
TreeNode destinationNode;
pt = treeView2.PointToClient(new Point(e.X, e.Y));
destinationNode = treeView2.GetNodeAt(pt);
newNode = (TreeNode) e.Data.GetData(''System.Windows.Forms.TreeNode'');
if(!destinationNode.Equals(newNode))
{
//destinationNode.Nodes.Add(newNode.Clone());
destinationNode.Nodes.Add((TreeNode) newNode.Clone());
destinationNode.Expand();
//Remove original node
newNode.Remove();
}
}
}
private void treeView2_DragEnter(object sender, System.Windows.Forms.DragEventArgs e)
{
e.Effect = DragDropEffects.Move;
}
private void treeView2_ItemDrag(object sender, System.Windows.Forms.ItemDragEventArgs e)
{
DoDragDrop(e.Item, DragDropEffects.Move);
}
