another listview question vb6.0

I add items (as Icons) and set the view to Icons. When I select and move
one of the items within the listview control, it appears to drag outside the
boundaries of the listview control and the vscroll and hscroll bars appear.
The problem is I want the items to remain aligned, not randomly spread
around. Also, this is a problem because my list view control is about 2
inches square. Can I keep the icon within the white space of the control
and can I keep everything aligned? I have tried to use the list view option
and that appears to work but I would like to get the larger icons view to
work as well.

I'm not clear. Do you WANT them to be able to move the icons
or would it be sufficient to simply prevent the user from
moving the icons?

I do want them to move the icons (Drag and drop). I am creating a list of
customers with a male or female icon. I want the user to click on a
customer (icon) and drag it onto another control. That control will take
the customer and load all their information. The listview control is
basically a visual queue.

I guess I am envisioning something like a MyComputer window where you can
click on an icon and drag it, only I want to drag it out of the listview. I
can do this now, but something happens sometimes when the icon will not move
beyond the boundary of the listview and when I release the mouse button the
icons are not aligned anymore.
