Thanks Jean-Marc,

Found the problem.

on mouseMove
local tObj

end if
end mouseMove


Gets a bit more complex if you have grouped ...

Here's a demo of drag/drop to reorder a list of grouped items. It uses graphics as the list items for now, but should support any type of list item as well as mixed list items or different sizes.

Any feedback is welcome and if someone has solved this already, I'd love to see the code if available.

Might be too late by now, but here's a demo of the drag/drop list items to reorder. Needs some animation too, but see if this helps.

Nice work Simon.

I like the idea of using a single field for some complex tasks.

Here is an example of a group list (using graphics as the list items for demo) where the drag and drop to reorder the list is implemented. Probably needs more comments, but maybe you will find it useful ...

Thanks Jacque,

That’s great advice. I do use that command to reorder the list once an item is dropped into its new place. Of course this assumes the layers are supposed to be from top to bottom on the y-axis. Can’t think of a reason not to have it like that.

Anyway, the behavior is done and I’ll ...

I'm sure after three years Kevin, this has been solved. Any luck on a comprehensive solution? I'm working on this now for fun and just need to solve the scrolling issue.

Thanks,
