suggestion:
you may have to specify mouse icon while dragging

We can help u in this regard but it might take some time for getting the text (client Name) as the mouse pointer, instead u can display the clients photo as the mouse icon/mouse pointer, pl let us know on this regard. Pl get back at the earliest to the mentioned email address

Thanks for immediate help. I can display photos as mouse pointer. But in this case client's photo is not under consideration (actually we are not having photos of client in the database). Please give me a solution to show the name of the client while dragging.(Like windows explorer - It shows the item name if for one selection not for multiple selection). Please help me in this regard.

Thanks

Hi

I've tried this several times and failed in VB - It's very easy to do in VC++ because you get easier access to the messages and methods (CreateDragImage etc).

If you feel up to it, the MFC CodeGuru site has several examples of doing this in C++ eg.

take a look at the main ListView section for more info : http://www.codeguru.com/listview/
