VirtualTreeview drag and drop to arrange nodes in a list

Question
I've got a list of nodes. I would like to add a drag-and-drop-to-rearrange feature, but I don't know how to go about doing this.
I tried using TVirtualStringTree's OnDragDrop event, but I couldn't figure it out. I looked at the documentation and there is sadly no minimal sample code there for plain node drag-dropping.
Please note, that it's just a single-level list. No hierachy. :)
Solution
If you're getting data through GetNodeData than your drag and drop could be implemented like this:
uses
ActiveX;
Assign drag events to the tree:
OnDragAllowed:
procedure TForm1.vt1DragAllowed(Sender: TBaseVirtualTree; Node: PVirtualNode; Column: TColumnIndex;
var Allowed: Boolean);
begin
Allowed := True;
end;
OnDragOver:
procedure TForm1.vt1DragOver(Sender: TBaseVirtualTree; Source: TObject; Shift: TShiftState;
State: TDragState; Pt: TPoint; Mode: TDropMode; var Effect: Integer; var Accept: Boolean);
begin
Accept := (Source = Sender);
end;
OnDragDrop:
procedure TForm1.vt1DragDrop(Sender: TBaseVirtualTree; Source: TObject; DataObject: IDataObject;
Formats: TFormatArray; Shift: TShiftState; Pt: TPoint; var Effect: Integer; Mode: TDropMode);
var
pSource, pTarget: PVirtualNode;
attMode: TVTNodeAttachMode;
begin
pSource := TVirtualStringTree(Source).FocusedNode;
pTarget := Sender.DropTargetNode;
case Mode of
dmNowhere: attMode := amNoWhere;
dmAbove: attMode := amInsertBefore;
dmOnNode, dmBelow: attMode := amInsertAfter;
end;
Sender.MoveTo(pSource, pTarget, attMode, False);
end;
Also do not forget to set toAutoDeleteMoveNodes
to False in TreeOptions.AutoOptions
.
OTHER TIPS
Multiple nodes drag'n'drop:
procedure TForm1.vst(Sender: TBaseVirtualTree;
Source: TObject; DataObject: IDataObject; Formats: TFormatArray;
Shift: TShiftState; Pt: TPoint; var Effect: Integer; Mode: TDropMode);
var
pSource, pTarget: PVirtualNode;
attMode: TVTNodeAttachMode;
List: TList<PVirtualNode>;
begin
pTarget := Sender.DropTargetNode;
case Sender.GetNodeLevel(pTarget) of
0:
case Mode of
dmNowhere:
attMode := amNoWhere;
else
attMode := amAddChildLast;
end;
1:
case Mode of
dmNowhere:
attMode := amNoWhere;
dmAbove:
attMode := amInsertBefore;
dmOnNode, dmBelow:
attMode := amInsertAfter;
end;
end;
List:= TList<PVirtualNode>.create();
pSource := Sender.GetFirstSelected();
while Assigned(pSource) do
begin
List.Add(pSource);
pSource := Sender.GetNextSelected(pSource);
end;
for pSource in List do
Sender.MoveTo(pSource, pTarget, attMode, False);
List.Free;
end;
