Is it true that ListBox does not select on MouseDown

[active]

I think I found in VB6 that when mousedown occurs the item is highlighted
but it is not selected until MouseUp.

I believe that may be happening in VB.NET also.

Anyone have any info pro or con?



Has anyone dragged out of a ListBox? Just knowing you didn't have to do
anything special would be helpful.


Thanks

Correct, it happens on MouseUp, if you dont do this you willl run into
trouble.

What kind of trouble?

How can I drag if I don't know what is being selected?

Thanks for this and your other reply

Maybe setting AllowDrop to True will help you out? I've never used drag and
dropping so I'm not certain it will do anything.

Yes, AllowDrapDrop is required, but you need to use other events like
beginDrag etc. There are examples somewhere in the help.
