DragDrop

I am trying to drag a text file and drop it into a multiline text box. I
get DragEnter, DragOver, and DragLeave events, but I don't get a DragDrop
event. I have AllowDrop set to TRUE for the textbox, the form the text box
is on, and the parent form that opens the form the text box is on. I am
using VB.NET 2002 with .NET Framework 1.0. How can I get the DragDrop
event?

TIA

Hi Robert,

Drag and Drop implementation in VB.NET is different from VB 6.0. You should
be looking for the DoDragDrop Event in your case.

Check out the MSDN documentation for more details
http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/de...ualbasic70.asp

Hope this helps.

Good Luck!

This tells me how to drag from within my application where I can code the
DoDragDrop routine, but I am trying to drag the icon from a text file on the
desktop and drop it into a multiline text box. I know I will have to write
the code to open the file and copy it into the text box, but I need to be
able to retrieve the full path specification from the dragged icon so I can
open the file.

TIA,

Bobbo

Sorry I misunderstood at first. Unfortunately I have not done anything like
that. But may be htis link will help. Although the person is trying to do the
exact reverse of what you are trying to do!

I have a Button I want to pull to a Label. I want the Button visualy to move when I pull it. When I drop the button on the Label I want to test some data coming with the Button - f.ex is the Button.Text="The right one!". I have some code that can do the DragDrop-effect BUT this code disables the visual effect og the Button visualy moving to the Label.

Hi, I need to dragdrop message items from Outlook (2002 and 2003) to my application. I successfully implemented DragDrop from Explorer to MyApp but I didnt find how to properly code DragEnter/DragDrop events to handle Outlook objects? When Outlook objects are dropped on Explorer, a file is created with the subject as the name. I would like to recreate a similar behavior in MyApp.

Hello, Is it possible to find out how many methods are listening to a certain event? For example, if a number of methods subscribed to a controls DragDrop event using +=, can I find out how many methods in total are listening to the DragDrop event of the control?

Well, it seems fundamental to me anyway. Hopefully it is simple enough. The question is for when the source for the dragdrop is a different application that the target for the dragdrop. How does the source for the dragdrop operation know that a drop has been completed onto a valid target? And then, how does the source know what the drop target is? I've got dragdrop working within my application but I can't see any

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