TListView bug highlighting when dragging

[David P 6]

I have a TListView in Report virtual mode that is the target of a dragdrop operation.  

 

Moving my cursor over the listview, highlights the item under the cursor (HotTrack=false).

 

When I drag an item over the list view, DragOver is fired and I'm able to set Accept=true.

 

The problem is that only the initial item dragged over gets highlighted,  OnlvItemsCustomDrawItem does not get called for other items when the mouse passes over them.  If I drag back over the original item, it does trigger OnItemsCustomDrawItem.

 

Has anyone been able to work around this?

 

I think I asked this years ago and Remy answered saying it was a bug, but my search has not found original question.

There are so many bugs and limitations in TListView (the Windows control, not the VCL wrapper) that I have found that as soon as I spend more than 10 minutes trying to work around something in it, it's often a better idea to replace it with something else.

Just yesterday I needed the first column in a listview right-aligned; Forgetaboutit - and out it went.
