FlowLayoutPanel control reordering

[NickP]

Hi there,

I am trying to implement drag and drop reordering of controls that are
placed in a FlowLayoutPanel control but unfortunately as the control
collection doesn't have an "insert" method I am having to use the
SetChildIndex method, which has some rather adverse side effects which can
lead to 2 items having the same index.

Would anyone know of another way to implement this functionality? For
such a great control this is really letting it down!

Nick.

Re: FlowLayoutPanel control reordering

Hi there,

Not to worry, it appears to have been my wrong. I was not aware that
the controls order is it's Z order so I was acquiring the wrong index to
start with, I should have been using GetChildIndex rather than IndexOf.

Cheers anyway.

Nick.
