Resize height of one listviewitem in list view when hovered over withmouse.

[rileymat@msu.edu]

Hello,
I have a drag and drop interface where someone drags an item into a
list view. I would like to make it easier for the user to pick the
correct one by making the listviewitem that the user is currently
hovering over larger. This is a similar interface to the Apple dock.
Is there an way to do this? Will it mean overriding the paint event
for the list view or is there an easier way?

AFAIK this is not possible, all the items most be of the same height.
I had a similar request a time ago and I was unable of doing it.

It can be done using WPF. That might be worth a shot.

That is a complete change in platform (and dev skills) , not sure if
it warrant.

OP:
I would suggest you look around for a solution, I bet somebody might
have implemented something like that
