ListBox click event with no items? 1

[KempCGDR]

Hi, I have the problem that the listbox's onClick event only fires when the user clicks on an item in the list, not on the box itself. I want the user to be able to move an item from one list to the other was was going to do it by having them click on the item in the first list (works fine) and then click on the list they want to move it to, but obviously I can no longer do this.

Does anyone know how to make the event fire for any clicking done in the box? Or even better, how to let the user drag an item from one to the other?

An empty list box will respond to a MouseDown event. That could call your OnClick event handler.

Drag and Drop is quite easy to implement. Say you are dragging and dropping from ListBox1 to ListBox2 then:

1) set DragMode in ListBox1 to dmAutomatic

2) code OnDragOver and onDragDrop event handlers for ListBox2.

Thanks a lot, got the dragging working after a lot of messing around (never done that before).
