Looking at file and shortcut properties from drag and drop

Hope somebody could point me in the right direction.
1. I want to be able to drag and drop a file or a shortcut from a folder
(from outside the app) and drop it on the apps form.
2. From this I need to examine said file or shortcuts properties.

point 1 is the particularly tricky bit.
point 2 I think I might be ok with (although not sure if examining a
shortcuts properties would be the same as a file)

Thx,
Br,
Mark.

There seems to be two ways to put things on the clipboard ( I don't mean different formats): SetClipboardData and OleSetClipboard If I want to get data off the clipboard do I care how it was put there? What about Drag/Drop; is there more than one way for the source to make data available Is it always OLE?

I have an application that parses a file and creates a new one based on the contents of the original file. What do I need to do so that a user could drag the source file from Windows Explorer and drop it onto a desktop shortcut icon of my .exe and have it execute ? Thanks in advance.. Pete

I'm trying to create a file using drag and drop. I want to be able to select a listview item drag it to the shell and create a file. Each icon in the listview represents a blob in a database. When I drop onto the shell I want a file created with a specified name containing the data from the database. I've looked at the FileDrop format but it look to have only the filename and not the data. TIA

Hello everyone, I am trying to create an application that utilizes a SQL Mobile database. I have included that database in my main project, and it compiles and debugs just fine. I then created a custom installer project packaged as a class library and made an installer project to wrap the whole thing up into an MSI package. Basically the idea behind doing all this is so the handheld app can be pushed out through group policy.

I need a right-click menu on a form list control with combobox controls. I used View->Toolbars->Customize to create a toolbar. I added ComboBox through commands tab. I set properties to Popup making it a shortcut menu. I have no problem linking it to the list control. The menu comes up when I right-click the list control.

Hi all, This is slightly OT but it drives me nuts. Whenever I create a shortcut in the start menu (in Windows) of a python script, it will only execute it when the path where the script resides in contains no spaces. For example; d:\src\app\app.py If I drag that to the Start Menu it can be executed fine.

Overview: Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
