Drag-drop out of windows app

[vorlovsky]

Hi All,

I'm working on Windows application that allows users to drop files from Windows Explorer, and saves them off somewhere.

What I'd like to do is have the same application allow users to drag image names from the list box into Explorer(or the desktop). The application in turn would internally resolve the image path and copy the file to the Explorer.

Has anyone ever done that? If so, can you please direct me to some useful articles.

Thanks,
Vlad

This is a pretty short article that should give you a few ideas.

Hi,

Thanks. I got as far as:

  private void listViewContents_ItemDrag(object sender, ItemDragEventArgs e)
        {
            ListView listView = (ListView)sender;
 
            ListViewItem[] items = new ListViewItem[listView.SelectedItems.Count];
 
            int i = 0;
            foreach (ListViewItem listViewItem in listView.SelectedItems)
            {
                items[i] = listViewItem;
                i++;
            }
 
            // Create a DataObject containg the array of ListViewItems.
            DoDragDrop(new DataObject("WhatGoesHere", items), DragDropEffects.All);
        }

Now, what do I put into DataObject()?

Thanks,
Vlad
