I would like to trigger drag events when I drag selected items from a ListView in a Windows Forms application onto the enclosing form. The ListView AllowDrop Property is set to True to allow dragging within the ListView.

What I have tried:

If I set the form AllowDrop property to = true, the drag events are triggered when I drag items from outside the form, but not when I select ListView Items and drag them onto the enclosing form.

I found the solution was changing form DragEnter code to

I private void Form_DragEnter(object sender, DragEventArgs e) { e.Effect = DragDropEffects.All; }

.
