How to move item in listBox up and down?

问题:

I have a listBox1 object and it contains some items. I have a button to move selected item up and another to move selected item down. What should the code be to the two buttons?

回答1:

private void UpClick()
{
    // only if the first item isn't the current one
    if(listBox1.ListIndex > 0)
    {
        // add a duplicate item up in the listbox
        listBox1.AddItem(listBox1.Text, listBox1.ListIndex - 1);
        // make it the current item
        listBox1.ListIndex = (listBox1.ListIndex - 2);
        // delete the old occurrence of this item
        listBox1.RemoveItem(listBox1.ListIndex + 2);
    }
}

private void DownClick()
{
   // only if the last item isn't the current one
   if((listBox1.ListIndex != -1) && (listBox1.ListIndex < listBox1.ListCount - 1))
   {
      // add a duplicate item down in the listbox
      listBox1.AddItem(listBox1.Text, listBox1.ListIndex + 2);
      // make it the current item
      listBox1.ListIndex = listBox1.ListIndex + 2;
      // delete the old occurrence of this item
      listBox1.RemoveItem(listBox1.ListIndex - 2);
   }
}

回答2:

 public void MoveUp()
 {
     MoveItem(-1);
 }

 public void MoveDown()
 {
    MoveItem(1);
 }

 public void MoveItem(int direction)
 {
    // Checking selected item
    if (listBox1.SelectedItem == null || listBox1.SelectedIndex < 0)
        return; // No selected item - nothing to do

    // Calculate new index using move direction
    int newIndex = listBox1.SelectedIndex + direction;

    // Checking bounds of the range
    if (newIndex < 0 || newIndex >= listBox1.Items.Count)
        return; // Index out of range - nothing to do

    object selected = listBox1.SelectedItem;

    // Removing removable element
    listBox1.Items.Remove(selected);
    // Insert it in new position
    listBox1.Items.Insert(newIndex, selected);
    // Restore selection
    listBox1.SetSelected(newIndex, true);
}

Did you try searching it in google? Move Items up/dowm in listbox control for example.

public class SmartListBox : ListBox
{
    //Moves the selected items up one level
    public MoveUp()
    {

        for(int i = 0; i < Items.Count; i++)
        {
            if (Items[i].Selected)//identify the selected item
            {
                //swap with the top item(move up)
                if (i > 0 && !Items[i - 1].Selected)
                {
                     ListItem bottom = Items[i];
                     Items.Remove(bottom);
                     Items.Insert(i - 1, bottom);
                     Items[i - 1].Selected = true;
                 }
              }
          }
     }
     //Moves the selected items one level down
     public MoveDown()
     {
         int startindex = Items.Count -1;
         for (int i = startindex; i > -1; i--)
         {
              if (Items[i].Selected)//identify the selected item
              { 
                  //swap with the lower item(move down)
                  if (i < startindex && !Items[i + 1].Selected)
                  {
                       ListItem bottom = Items[i];
                       Items.Remove(bottom);
                       Items.Insert(i + 1, bottom);
                       Items[i + 1].Selected = true;
                  }

              }
         }
     }
}

Modified Desolator code above to pass the control as a parameter...reusable

    private void MoveUp()
    {
        MoveItem(-1,listBox1);
    }      


    private void MoveDown()
    {
        MoveItem(1,listBox1);
    }

    public void MoveItem(int direction,ListBox listBox)
    {
        // Checking selected item
        if (listBox.SelectedItem == null || listBox.SelectedIndex < 0)
            return; // No selected item - nothing to do

        // Calculate new index using move direction
        int newIndex = listBox.SelectedIndex + direction;

        // Checking bounds of the range
        if (newIndex < 0 || newIndex >= listBox.Items.Count)
            return; // Index out of range - nothing to do

        object selected = listBox.SelectedItem;

        // Removing removable element
        listBox.Items.Remove(selected);
        // Insert it in new position
        listBox.Items.Insert(newIndex, selected);
        // Restore selection
        listBox.SetSelected(newIndex, true);
    }

Modified @Save code to allow for moving items that are data bound to a ListBox using DataSource property.

public void MoveItem(int direction)
        {
            // Checking selected item
            if (listBox1.SelectedItem == null || listBox1.SelectedIndex < 0)
                return; // No selected item - nothing to do

            // Calculate new index using move direction
            int newIndex = listBox1.SelectedIndex + direction;

            // Checking bounds of the range
            if (newIndex < 0 || newIndex >= listBox1.Items.Count)
                return; // Index out of range - nothing to do

            UnifyCamera selected = listBox1.SelectedItem as UnifyCamera;

            // modify the data source list
            inputData.Cameras.RemoveAt(listBox1.SelectedIndex);
            inputData.Cameras.Insert(newIndex, selected);

            // re-bind your data source
            ((ListBox)listBox1).DataSource = null;
            ((ListBox)listBox1).DataSource = this.inputData.Cameras;
            ((ListBox)listBox1).DisplayMember = "Name";

            // Restore selection
            listBox1.SetSelected(newIndex, true);
        }

Where UnifyCamera is my custom class that is stored in a list inputData.Cameras that returns a List<UnifyCamera>.

All the other answers are fine, but you should also consider this one :) The idea of it is close to the one from SwDevMan81 but this is real code (not pseudo) and you could move more than one item (multiple selected items) and with an improvement when moving down.

private void MoveUp_listBox_button_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
  listBox.BeginUpdate();
  int numberOfSelectedItems = listBox.SelectedItems.Count;
  for (int i = 0; i < numberOfSelectedItems; i++)
  {
    // only if it's not the first item
    if (listBox.SelectedIndices[i] > 0)
    {
      // the index of the item above the item that we wanna move up
      int indexToInsertIn = listBox.SelectedIndices[i] - 1;
      // insert UP the item that we want to move up
      listBox.Items.Insert(indexToInsertIn, listBox.SelectedItems[i]);
      // removing it from its old place
      listBox.Items.RemoveAt(indexToInsertIn + 2);
      // highlighting it in its new place
      listBox.SelectedItem = listBox.Items[indexToInsertIn];
    }
  }
  listBox.EndUpdate();
}

private void MoveDown_listBox_button_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
  listBox.BeginUpdate();
  int numberOfSelectedItems = listBox.SelectedItems.Count;
  // when going down, instead of moving through the selected items from top to bottom
  // we'll go from bottom to top, it's easier to handle this way.
  for (int i = numberOfSelectedItems-1; i >= 0; i--)
  {
    // only if it's not the last item
    if (listBox.SelectedIndices[i] < listBox.Items.Count - 1)
    {
      // the index of the item that is currently below the selected item
      int indexToInsertIn = listBox.SelectedIndices[i] + 2;
      // insert DOWN the item that we want to move down
      listBox.Items.Insert(indexToInsertIn, listBox.SelectedItems[i]);
      // removing it from its old place
      listBox.Items.RemoveAt(indexToInsertIn - 2);
      // highlighting it in its new place
      listBox.SelectedItem = listBox.Items[indexToInsertIn - 1];
    }
  }
  listBox.EndUpdate();
}

Vexe's answer worked the best for me, but I had to modify it to fix a couple of issues. This solution will highlight the correct object if the same object is in the list box multiple times. Also, this solution prevents multi selected objects from flip flopping when they hit the top or bottom of the list box and the button continues to be pressed multiple times.

    private void btnMoveUp_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
    {
        // find the lowest index of non selected items
        int lowestIndexNotSelected = listBox.Items.Count - 1;
        for (int i = listBox.Items.Count - 1; i >= 0; i--)
        {
            if (!listBox.SelectedIndices.Contains(i))
            {
                lowestIndexNotSelected = i;
            }
        }

        listBox.BeginUpdate();
        int numberOfSelectedItems = listBox.SelectedItems.Count;
        for (int i = 0; i < numberOfSelectedItems; i++)
        {
            // only if it's not a lower inde than the lowest non selected index
            if (listBox.SelectedIndices[i] > lowestIndexNotSelected)
            {
                // the index of the item above the item that we wanna move up
                int indexToInsertIn = listBox.SelectedIndices[i] - 1;
                // insert UP the item that we want to move up
                listBox.Items.Insert(indexToInsertIn, listBox.SelectedItems[i]);
                // removing it from its old place
                listBox.Items.RemoveAt(indexToInsertIn + 2);
                // highlighting it in its new place (by index, to prevent highlighting wrong instance)
                listBox.SelectedIndex = indexToInsertIn;
            }
        }
        listBox.EndUpdate();

Get a collection of the selected items and then move them as follows:

private void btnMoveUp_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
  HashSet<KeyValuePair<int, object>> ItemsToMove = new HashSet<KeyValuePair<int, object>>();

  foreach (object o in lstMyListView.SelectedItems)
    ItemsToMove.Add(new KeyValuePair<int, object>(lstMyListView.Items.IndexOf(o), o));

  foreach (KeyValuePair<int, object> kvp in ItemsToMove)
  {
    if (kvp.Key > 0) // check if its the first item before moving
    {
      lstMyListView.Items.Remove(kvp.Value);
      lstMyListView.Items.Insert(kvp.Key - 1, kvp.Value);
    }
  }
}

private void btnMoveDown_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
  HashSet<KeyValuePair<int, object>> ItemsToMove = new HashSet<KeyValuePair<int, object>>();

  foreach (object o in lstMyListView.SelectedItems)
    ItemsToMove.Add(new KeyValuePair<int, object>(lstMyListView.Items.IndexOf(o), o));

  foreach (KeyValuePair<int, object> kvp in ItemsToMove)
  {
    if (kvp.Key < lstMyListView.Items.Count - 1) // check if its the last item before moving
    {
      lstMyListView.Items.Remove(kvp.Value);
      lstMyListView.Items.Insert(kvp.Key + 1, kvp.Value);
    }
  }
}

I Use this with multiple selections. It also works with interleaved selections.

        private void Order_buttons_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
    {
        //If noselection return
        if (Layouts_listBox.SelectedItems.Count == 0) return;

        //Determines wether up or down
        int movement = (sender as Button) == Order_Upbutton? - 1 : 1;

        //creates a dictionary associating the original Index (ListBox) to the text
        Dictionary<int, string> Items = new Dictionary<int, string>();

        //Also creates a list with the Index for sorting
        List<int> DesiredOrder = new List<int>();

        //Cycle through the selection and fill both the list and dictionary
        ListBox.SelectedObjectCollection NN = Layouts_listBox.SelectedItems;
        foreach (object n in NN)
        {
            DesiredOrder.Add(Layouts_listBox.Items.IndexOf(n));
            Items.Add(Layouts_listBox.Items.IndexOf(n), (string)n);
        }

        //Sort the List according to the desired button (Up or Down)
        DesiredOrder.Sort();
        if ((sender as Button) != Order_Upbutton) DesiredOrder.Reverse();

        //I'm using this ErrorHandling but thats up to you
        try
        {
            //Call the MoveItem (Credits to Save) according to the sorted order
            foreach (int n in DesiredOrder) MoveItem(movement, Items[n]);
        }
        catch (Exception)
        {
            SystemSounds.Asterisk.Play();
        }
    }
    public void MoveItem(int direction, string Selected)
    {
        // Checking selected item
        if (!Layouts_listBox.Items.Contains(Selected) || Layouts_listBox.Items.IndexOf(Selected) < 0)
            throw new System.Exception(); // No selected item - Cancel entire Func

        // Calculate new index using move direction
        int newIndex = Layouts_listBox.Items.IndexOf(Selected) + direction;

        // Checking bounds of the range
        if (newIndex < 0 || newIndex >= Layouts_listBox.Items.Count)
            throw new System.Exception(); // Index out of range - Cancel entire Func

        object selected = Layouts_listBox.Items[Layouts_listBox.Items.IndexOf(Selected)];

        // Removing removable element
        Layouts_listBox.Items.Remove(selected);
        // Insert it in new position
        Layouts_listBox.Items.Insert(newIndex, selected);
        // Restore selection
        Layouts_listBox.SetSelected(newIndex, true);
    }
