Thanks for your reply.
I have done a lot of drag and drop stuff within treeviews and within listviews and between treeviews and listviews and between listviews and treeviews. This is kind of a fun little side project for me so I will not be focused on this 100%.

One thought that struck me was that since what I am trying to do is so similar to the form designer (and since it would be nice to have the snap-to-grid and snap-to-somethingelse features) maybe M$ has made some of these things available.

>Yeah, you need to look at drag/drop events. It's a bit complicated, but once you understand it, it's not too bad. At one time I was going to put together some sample code to show how it works ... I started, but I never got around to finishing it. If I get some free time later today, maybe I'll see about doing that.
