My C# application supports drag and drop of files, folders, shortcuts and
links from other applications into mine. This all works pretty nicely,
except that I am trying to get a little more information when a web link is
dropped onto my application from Internet Explorer.
When you drag the link in the Address bar of Internet Explorer to your
desktop, the desktop shortcut that gets created has the Title of the web page
as it’s name, and it also picks up the custom Icon for that web page. I’m
trying to figure out how to get that information out of the
DragEventArgs.D ata property when the same kind of link is dropped onto my
application, but I have had no luck.
Here is a summary of what I know so far (e is the DragEventArgs):
- The e.Data.GetData( DataFormats.Tex t) returns the URL. This works fine.
- Some of the other DataFormats choices return the URL as well, but I’ve
tried them all and that’s all there is. No other information available in
those choices.
- I thought the e.Data.GetForma ts() would tell me something, but it just
returns an empty array of strings (string[0]), so I guess that Internet
Explorer doesn’t really support that call.
- I found a solution on the web that uses
e.Data.GetData( "FileGroupDescr iptor") to get a System.IO.Strea m that is
supposed to contain the Title of the web page, but I found that it just
contained the same URL or a reference to a file name, depending on the web
site.
So, my question is, do you know how to get the Title of the web page when
dragging and dropping a link from IE to an application? I assume there must
be a way, since Windows can do this when you drop it on the desktop as a
shortcut.
Of less importance to me, but also interesting, is how can you get the
custom Icon associated with the web page?

Hello,
I was curious, is it possible to create drag and drop interface from listbox
to listbox on a webform application (i.e. vb.net)? Basically the
application would need to load multiple listboxes with values from a
database, allow the user to drag and drop from a listbox to a different
listbox and would 'move' the item and update the database accordingly?
If so, would anyone have any examples of how to do this?

I noticed I could drag a filename from windowsexplorer onto a richtextbox
and drop it as a Link and the result is a link on the box that open the file
if I click it.
Is that the whole story.
Are links only for opening files into their app?
I also wonder why the effect All includes Scroll, Copy, and Move but does
not include Link?

I am trying to implement drag and drop in a C# app, but for some reason I
can't get it to call the GiveFeedback event. I have done everything by the
book as far as I can tell, but a breakpoint in the GiveFeedback event is
simply never reached. I know that's not much to go on, but if anyone can
suggest what I might have missed I'd be very grateful.
