Is it possible to (without a mile of code) Drag and drop files from a datagrid to the desktop or open folder?
I have tried this:
Dim sFile As String = "D: est.pdf"
C1Grid_Documents.DoDragDrop(New DataObject(DataFormats.FileDrop, sFile), DragDropEffects.Copy)
But no file is created.
Is it possible to drag an drop a desktop shortcut to the form and then launch the program from there ? Is so how would this be done ?
View 39 RepliesI have a ListBox control, that contains a few items that display attachments (files or directories). I have successfully allowed users to drag and drop items from their desktop to the ListBox , but I have not been able to allow the user to drag and drop items from the ListBox to their desktop. Is this possible?
View 1 RepliesI found this thread[url]...
and I have encountered the exact same problem, that the desktop shortcut icon created by the Setup program does not work when dragging and dropping a file (in this case an Access-database) onto it,
while a shortcut manually created works just fine.
I do not understand the answer in the above thread. But, anyway I would like to find a way to solve the problem directly, preferably through the Setup program itself.
This is a little diffrent from your standard drag and drop, but I am trying to find out a way to support drag and drop, from a list control, which is displaying a list of files, held as "blobs" in a SQL database (compressed data in my own format). When the form is opened, I obtain a list of all the file names within that given table in the database, and display it to the user in the list view control. The user then has the option of dragging that ListItem from the ListView on to the dektop (or other directory location). Upon doing so, I need to be able to read the data from SQL, decompress the data (in my own format) and then save it as a file at the dropped location.
My main problem is detecting when the ListItem is dropped outside of my application, as I want to use this dropping event to trigger the code in to obtaining a copy of that file from the database, and save it in to the "dropped" directory, where ever that may be.
So Im mainly looking in to how I can "see" the final location where the item is dropped, and how I can start off the drag and drop operation in the first place with no initial data (since I have not obtained the file at the start of the operation). Getting the file at the start of the drag and drop operation intoduces "lag" while the application makes the trip to the SQL database (via web service) and obtains the data, so I need to carry out that trip to the database, at the end, while still allowing "Windows" to act as if I am dragging and dropping a file...
I did consider multi-theading, and downloaind the file from the database while the drag and drop operation is in progress, but then it becomes a race between the data being obtained from the database, and the user dropping the file.
Im using VS2005, SQL 2005 where the file is stored as a blog. SQL is on another PC running a web service which I interact with, to allow my application to talk to the database over both a LAN and WiFi via the internet. Compression and de-compression is handed at the client side application (for the file itself, in order to reduce the footprint created by the internet traffic) , where the user interface is displayed.
In my Project I want to Drag the text of the Text Box into any Particular cell of the DataGrid which ever user wants to,
but my problem is I am not able to find the Coordinates of the cell cell in which user will drop the text and hence not able to put the text into desired Cell.
Code snippet below shows the code in the Dragdrop event of the dataGrid
Dim sText As String = ""
Dim nrow As Integer = 'Need to get this rowIndex
Dim nCol As Integer = 'Need to get this ColIndex
[Code].....
I don't know how exactly it is called but I look for a function like in Excel when I write e.g. in the first cell a 1 and then pull the field down with my mouse and it automatically completes the following cells like that:
1
2
3
Is it possible to this in VB.Net and how except that I have to add every time one I have no idea.

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 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?

I've seen the code on this site to setup a drag-and-drop between 2 listboxes (and that works perfectly for me), but I have a need to be able to move items between up to 12 listboxes. For example, I move an item from listbox1 to listbox2; at some point in the future, I need to be able to move that same item from listbox2 to listbox3, then at another point in time from listbox3 back to listbox1, etc. When I make these moves, I need the item to be removed from its previous location. I've attempted to modify the 2-listbox code to include, on my test form, a third listbox, but that code copies to the third listbox, and when I attempt to move the item from the third listbox to the second, it, too, only copies and does not remove the item from listbox3.
