Hi Jordan

You might want to give VFPTree a try -- it doesn't require a separate ImageList control, and DragDrop is built in. You can download it from my website, http://jeffbowman.com/.

There's a catch, however: It's built with VB6 and therefore suffers from a VB6 bug (which MS isn't going to fix) that causes the app using VFPTree to crash if you leave VFPTree's containing form open without user interaction for a long time, say 30 minutes. Through testing, you might be able to pinpoint that failure time even closer.

I've been able to solve that in at least one case by placing a timer on the form that does nothing at all except fire an empty Timer() event. Why does it work? I have no idea.

HTH,
Jeff
