IDataObject and drag/drop interaction with Windows Explorer?


I've implemented an IDataObject interface around one of my classes in order
to facilitate drag/drop from my application into explorer. What I want to
do is allow the user to select a series of data objects in my application
and to drag/drop them onto explorer for explorer to create files of them.
Is this possible, or will I just have to stick with an explicit "Export"
method in my program?

I've got a owner-drawn listview control that displays images and now I'm trying to implement drag and drop so I can drag images from the control and drop them onto other applications. So far if I drop on windows explorer it works (i.e. an image file is created where I dropped the image) or the console displays the full path to the image. Unfortunately it doesn't work with Excel. Nothing at all happens. No error, nothing. The code I am...

I am trying to implement the user feedback provided by Windows Explorer when draggng a filename from one place to another. I have the drag and drop action worked out but have had no luck in finding how to capture the piece of the screen into a bitmap to simulate the movement. I know this could be done with the Windows API but can't find any way to do it with .Net functions. Any help is appreciated.

I have an app that represents ShellFolder Items as a visual element (listview item, etc). The code correctly performs Drag&Drop operations EXCEPT in the case when the item being dragged is from a Virtual Folder. The problem is that the DragSource is my app, not the Virtual Folder, and therefore the IDataObject interface is clueless about how to get the data. My understanding is that I need to obtain and use the IDataObject Interface of...

I have created a C# user control which display certain filesystem information, and allows the user to drag an drop files into and out of the control. I then placed this user form in IE using an <object> tag. Doing this has broken the drag and drop functionality from Windows Explorer into IE (it still works fine going from IE to Windows Explorer). The problem is that whenever I drag a file over IE, IE wants to implement the drop...

Hello NG, I try to use drag and drop function between two list views. For this I found following code: http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/dv_vstechart/html/vbtchimpdragdrop.asp It works fine, but I have another problem. I want to create functionality like a Windows Explorer. This means, if I select some items from list view No 1 and drag&drop this to the list view No 2, then I want to mark automatically

I am looking for VBA code that will work with Access 2003 to enable dragging and dropping a file/folder name from Windows XP Explorer into an Access form's text box. This is a common functionality that most Windows programs have, so I'm suprised it's not easier to implement in Access/VBA. Through Google, I found two VB6 examples and one VBA example on the Access Web written by Dev Ashish. The VB6 examples used loops to keep checking...

Hello folks, I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
