Different behavior with Shift-leftClick and Ctrl-leftClick

[Administrator]

Set ListBoxSelectionMode = SelectionMode.MultiExtended

Set ControllerOptions = GridControllerOptions.OleDataSource

In runtime, select 2 consecutive rows (e.g. 1st and 2nd) with Shift+left mouse button. In this case you can drag (mouse cursor transforms into the "drag-cursor") the selection either at the top of the first row or at the bottom of the second one.

However, if you select these 2 rows with the Ctrl key, and e.g. the current cell is in the 3rd row, you cannot drag the selection at the top of the first row, only at the top and bottom of the second one.

And why QueryCanOleDragRange receives a RangeInfo and not a RangeInfoList object? Check out explorer, it is able to manage Ctrl+LClick selection drags.

I think both items you bring up are related.

When you do shift to select, you get one GridRangeInfo that was expanded to reflect the shift-select action. And this GridRangeInfo object is added to the Selections collection. If you do a ctl to select an adjcent row, the existing selected GridRangeInfo is not extended to include the adjacent row. Instead another GridRangeInfo object is added to the Selections collection.

Our default OLE D&D only supports dragging a single range, the grid.Selections.Ranges.ActiveRange. So, this is why you see the behavior you reported. (And this is the same functionality you will find in Excel, since you cannot even do multiple selections in Excel).

You can add your own D&D support to handle multiple ranges, but you might have to make some accomodation for dragging into applications like Excel that do not handle multiple ranges.

Just a hint: if ListBoxSelectionMode = SelectionMode.MultiExtended then it''s a list rather than an Excel-like grid. So I think, dragdrop of multiple selections should work...

Levelét olvasva azt láttam Ön is hasonló gondokkal küzd0tt mint én Drag and Drop ügyben.

Haladt-e azóta e témában?
Ha igen tudna számomra öttletet adni hogy lehet több nem összefüggö sort D&D -olni
