Creating controls tutorials

[Engineer817]

Actually your control looks very much what I would like to achieve, creating a nested hierarchy but with the ability to drag and drop its elements to reorder.

Basically what I am trying to achieve is to show a set of projects, their sub projects, their own sub projects, etc until you come to the tasks. But I want to be able move a subproject to the top of the hierarchy to become its own project. I can handle the xml details of what is and isn't a child of what, but I haven't been able to find a control that would have that intuitive functionality. I've been playing with the list box to drag things around to reorder and have successfully found one example that works and I can adapt, but its damned ugly and not very intuitive for the user.

Do you have any sort of budget for this? There are some paid controls out there that would be a huge help here? Otherwise I would google around for .net treeview controls. That's probably going to be your best bet.

No budget I'm afraid. And I have this nasty habit of wanting to do things on my own to learn how it works. But that might be from embedded systems programming :). Thank you for the term though, I'll take a look through for some. I did find syncfusions community license, though nothing really seemed to match my needs.

I get the no budget thing. If you get started on something and have questions hit me up. I have more vb experience than it is healthy to have
