Drag And Drop - Moving Files?
Nov 9, 2010
I am working on some software to work along side our client database and I am basaically trying to add in a basic form of File Management. I have a listbox now that displays the current contents of the clients electronic file. I am wanting to set it up so that people can drag files from anywhere onto this Listbox and move that file to the clients electronic file.
For refrence the clients folder is always situated in same place which is client filesclientID where clientID is the clients unique Id on the database.

1. Although I have enabled AllowDrop property of ComboBox it does not allow me to drag and drop files into ComboBox. Why?
2. Then should I process incoming files in the _DragDrop event, yes?
3. How can I get the Files.Count to get the number of dropped files?

I use a .NET richtextbox and I want to have the EnableAutoDragDrop property set to True. This allows user to drag&drop text, rtf and images around etc. However, I need to process files dropped into the richtextbox myself - I do not want them to be embedded as OLE objects when they are dropped.
How can I overcome this? Is there any way to delete embedded files from richtextbox?
(I've found API DragAcceptFiles which doesn't work for some reason.)

I have a doubt. I'd like to make a program where you can drag music files (mp3, flac, wav, wma..) and video files (avi, mpeg, mp4, vob, mov) and get the property values of this ones... For example, bitrate, KBps, size, etc, to put them in textbox or listboxes.

1) I'm dragging a file (.txt) into a rtb which works fine, but how do I get the filename? (messagebox whatever)
2) How do I restrict files to drop? (like a .exe)
vb.net
If e.Data.GetDataPresent(DataFormats.FileDrop) Then
Dim Files() As String
Files = e.Data.GetData(DataFormats.FileDrop)
Dim sReader As New StreamReader(Files(0))

I am working on a vb forms application in VS2008.What I am looking to do is have 3 file managers on the form.The top is the source where files can be copied to the 2 other file managers.What I have been looking for is an example of the file explorer so I can modify it.So far I have been unsuccessful in finding a good example so I am here to ask the experts.So the gist is the first file explorer will allow a user to connect to thier local hard drive.The other two file explorers would allow the user to connect to two different servers through entering the path they want to view those file trees.After that the user could click on the file they want to copy and then hit a button for example and the file would be copied from the local to the two other areas.Would it be easier to just use text boxes with a confirmation that the files are being copied?Or can a full file manager be built to drag and drop files?

I am trying to add multiple files to FTP server by dragging and dropping and I am able to do that using try catch block and if we give the ftp settings correctly it takes 1 sec to upload them but when we give wrong details it hangs up and dosen't give me any error message though If I give an exceptional message.
Now I am getting error message as well as success message for every file I add.I do not want that to be happen.where should I give messages for success and failure so that it should take few seconds for uploading and if not should give me a message immediately.
Here is my code:
Private Sub uploadFile(ByVal FTPAddress As String, ByVal filePath As String, ByVal username As String, ByVal password As String) 'Create FTP request

I am using Excel 2007, VS2008 Pro.I am building a VSTO Add-in that requires "drag and drop from Excel cells to a drag-enabled task pane".So far I notice that I can only drag and drop within the cells themselves. It does not allow me to drop into the task Pane or drag past the sheet limits.(http:)[url]...
Note: The task pane has drag drop enabled, I ahve already tested I can drag/drop from task pane to excel but I need to do this the other way around?

I am trying to figure out a way to include the listview's tag field when dragging one listview's subitems into another listview. I am hoping someone here has experience with this. My Listview drag code is below - the two listviews that I am dragging subitems into or from are LV1 and LV3. Also, this is being done in Visual Basic 2008 and the project is a windows application.

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.

I want to be able to hold CTRL down to select multiple text entries and drag them all to certain text boxes. Or even one at a time, but once I try dragging another word into the box it replace the first one. Is there any way to just have it add to the text box rather than replace it?
And if possible, place a "-" between each entry?
This is the pop-up form with the listbox that contains the words to drag:
Private Sub ListBox1_MouseDown(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.Windows.Forms.MouseEventArgs) Handles ListBox1.MouseDown
ListBox1.DoDragDrop(ListBox1.SelectedItem, DragDropEffects.Copy)

I am writing a small program that has two list box's which are populated from my sql database. I want to drag an item from LB1 to column1 in a datagridview and drag an item from LB2 to column2 in the same datagridview.
I am getting close, but I am having trouble getting the data to drop. I did some testing and I can drop a string, but I am not able to get the string data from my listbox. I just get a datarowview. I see the string inside the "itemarray", but cannot get to it.
Here is my dodragdrop:
LB_OriginalPallets.DoDragDrop(LB_OriginalPallets.SelectedItems(indexOfOldPalletToDrag), DragDropEffects.Copy)

I am trying to generate buttons and allow the user to drag and drop them.
I have this sub:
Sub Form1_MouseClick(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.Windows.Forms.MouseEventArgs) Handles Me.MouseClick
Dim nodebtn As New Button
[Code]....
Also if I declare the nodebtn as a global variable, I do not face this problem, the button is dragable. However when I click to add new buttons, no new button is generated, instead a button is generated with the count on it.

I have this app that gets the files/subdirectories from a selected one (it stores the files with their icon in a listview), I was wondering how could I drag a selected file from the listview into another directory (outside of the form), let's say the desktop.
How can I do this? I have only found examples of how to do drag/drop within the same form.

I am very new to Visual Basic, but I am trying to build a simple program, and how to create a drag and drop that works, but I can't seem to figure out how to change the display as I drag across the screen. Basically, right now I have a circle with a line through it that goes across my screen as I drag and what I would like is for it to be the text that I am dragging that drags across the screen, just like a file on my desktop would do when I grab it and try to drag it somewhere else on the desktop. I have put my code in below, how to get rid of the circle with the line through it, and replace it with the actually text that I am trying to drag. I am using Visual Basic 2010
Public Class frmDragDrop
Private Sub labelMouseDown(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.Windows.Forms.MouseEventArgs) Handles lbdragfrom.MouseDown
lbdragfrom.DoDragDrop(lbdragfrom.Text, DragDropEffects.Copy)
End Sub
