Hi,
I've looked everywhere on the internet for multiple items drag&drop between listboxes and found only examples showing single item drag.
I know how to make a single item dragdrop operation between two listboxes using MouseDown, DoDragDrop, DragEnter, DragDrop

Now what I'm looking forward to learn is the ability of dragging more than one item from one listbox and dropping them in another listbox

Thank you for your help
 
MultiSimple mode: start the drag operation immediately when selecting last item, ie don't release mouse and then start drag.
MultiExtended mode: select multiple using Ctrl or Shift key, but do not release the key until the drag operation has started.
 
Thank you John for your answer
I've come across a good idea on the internet : Using ListViews instead of ListBoxes.
A ListView offers a more normal behavior in a Drag operation. Multiple items can be selected and dragged normally.
For anyone who would like to learn about it, take a look at a very good example here:

Choose : Dragging between lists

Thanks a lot
