MOVELST demonstrates how to reorder the items in a list box using drag and drop. The user clicks an item, drags it to the new position, and drops the item. The list box will scroll if necessary.

MOVELST also shows how to implement a dialog box as a main window using a private dialog class.

The drag and drop implementation is based on the sample application LISTDRAG.
