Adding Drag & Drop Like Windows Explorer?

Dec 4, 2010

The following website appears to show you you might do Drag/Drop that works like explorer does but I don't know what the code would be in VB, what exactly i'd need or anything else. It's a quite large code base just to make it so you get the same effect as explorer even though it seems to be API's or .dll's that should handle most of the work.

If the API's & .dll's available for this don't handle most of it I don't see why not because well if your meant to get the same effect why is it going to be handled mostly by code? I would think it would be as easy as passing an image or file/folder as string & then there the image is & possibly the functions you want to be allowed or text to be displayed for the drag action & then a little more to determine where your trying to drag to so what the text should be changing to.

Anyways heres the website which has a lot of the information/code in non-vb language, even when translated to VB using online tools I couldn't figure out what did what or what pieces I needed to get a basic drag action to work that has said visual information like explorer does.[URL]..

Extract File After Drag - Drop Request Made To Explorer?

Dec 10, 2009

In my current project I've run into a problem with dragging and dropping from my app to Windows Explorer. My app requires an "Extraction" of a virtual file (almost like a ZIP/RAR archiver would). The problem is, with all of the dragging to explorer solutions I have found online requires you to have a extracted file already on the filesystem (most likely in a temp folder) before you initiate the drag-drop. I'm trying to do is be able to extract the file AFTER the drag-drop request has already been made to the explorer.

VS 2010 - Adding Drag And Drop Support In Renaming Program?

Sep 12, 2011

I am trying to make a renaming program, which I have done, but wanted to add drag and drop support. Firstly, when I drag and drop the files into a listbox they appear to be going in and are ordered randomly. I want them to go into the order they're dragged in. Secondly, instead of having the entire path such as:
D:TVThe Big Bang Theory SeasonSeason 1The Big Bang Theory S01E01 - Pilot
I want just "The Big Bang Theory S01E01 - Pilot" to go into the listbox.

Drag From Form To Windows - Get Drop Destination

Feb 14, 2010

I have been developing an app in VB.NET which requires a control object (for example, a ListViewItem) to be dragged out of the form, and to a user-specified location (for example, on the desktop, or in a folder). However, The file that is intended to be 'copied', as the 'ListViewItem' represents, does not yet exist. It needs to be downloaded and then placed in the user specified location. Am I able to get the path/location of the destination drop? I would then proceed to download the file, and then place it where the use specified.

I have looked at other questions regarding a similar issue, which details the dragging operation outside the form, its just there doesn't appear to be a way to determine where that short cut went or how to flag the destination location. Essentially, I am thinking that it may require some sort of 'dynamic link' or 'virtual file' as I've seen mentioned elsewhere. Then, after the drop operation, somehow accessing this 'link' from my application, proceed to download the file and place it in the final drop destination.

VS 2008 Unable To Drag Drop In Windows 7 64 Bit

I've been sporadically going back to over the course of a few weeks and am unable to resolve. In Windows 7 (I'm using the 64 bit professional edition) I am unable to drag and drop files. I know the code works as I've been using the application on a 32 bit XP for ages.I've set the allowdrop property for both the main form and the status strip.[code]I've knocked the UAC settings down a notch and this doesn't do anything either. Interestingly, it's not even showing any of the dragdrop effects when dragging files or outlook emails into them.

Implementing Drag-drop From Chrome On .NET Windows Form

May 25, 2011

Google Chrome has a handy feature where I can click a download link and drag it into a Windows Explorer window, and then drop. After dropping, Chrome then downloads the file and it appears where I dropped it.

I would like to be able to drop from Google Chrome into my application, but it seems it isn't so simple. I have a DataGridView called gridFiles, and the following code:

Private Sub gridFiles_DragDrop(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.Windows.Forms.DragEventArgs) Handles gridFiles.DragDrop
If e.Data.GetDataPresent(DataFormats.FileDrop) Then

[Code].....

EDIT: So it seems that with regular URLs, I do get the proper dragged-in UniformResourceLocator format. The behavior I am seeing occurs with the download links in Gmail. It probably happens elsewhere, but I am not sure. When a gmail attachment is dragged from Gmail into my application, I get a FileDrop.

Doing some more digging, it seems that Gmail is using the download_url attribute of the anchor tag. I have never heard of this before. Perhaps this is just an extra property they have added?

In any case, since my application will primarily be used with e-mail attachments, I need a way for the phantom FileDrop to work, as stated above. I am unable to use Spy++. It doesn't seem to show any messages when drops occur.

Edit #2: Here is more information on how Gmail utilizes drag/drop for files: [URL]

Drag/Drop Within A Tree And Drag/drop From Tree To Textbox

Oct 20, 2010

drag and drop nodes within the same tree (not between trees) when users drag and drop nodes within the tree, give them the option to move the original node to a new location within the tree OR to just copy the original node in a new location (seems complex but I have a month to figure this out). change the system default blue highlight for selected nodes to another color change the system default cursors for invalid and valid drops (instead of the circle with slash indicating invalid target, i want a red minus) and (instead of the little plus sign with little box indicating a valid target, i want just a big green plus sign) add a red insert line to indicate where the node would be dropped within a tree also drag and drop the text of a node from the tree to a textbox add a "folder" image next to parent nodes and a "document" image next to children nodes

I have looked through the internet but I am having difficulty sorting through all the information available (I see a lot of information for Visual Basic 5 and 6, and those codes don't work for me in visual studio 2008). I can email anyone my code I have so far.

Creating A File Explorer Similar To Windows Explorer?

Aug 1, 2010

I want to make a program that is similar to Windows Explorer. It will have a button that when you click it it opens a FolderBrowserDialog and it will have an area that displays the contents of the selected folder. I want to have a label that displays the current folder path (i.e. 'USERDocuments...') and I also would like a feature to search all files on the computer.Also, is it possible that when I click on a file in the contents of the selected folder it displays its information (i.e. Name, Size, etc.)? And can I also make it so that if you double click on another folder in the current folder's display it opens that folder? And can I have a button to go up one directory?
