I have a button that if a user clicks on the button it creates a new button without the user knowing, and they can drag it to a split container, drop it and edit the button. I am having an issue where I cannot drag or drop the button onto the split container.[code]...
View 3 RepliesI 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.
I have been using vb6 for a while, I am following a tutorial by MS to develop a basic application and a simple task cannot be completed for whatever reasons! The tutorial asks to drag the label object from the toolbox and drop in the tab control container. Then, go to the label size property and adjust the size to some different dimansion. Basic stuff, right? It won't let me do it! After I enter the new dimensions (which by the way are not large or very small), the label size (both width and height) resets back to its original dimensions! I have the vb.net sp1 installed.

I want to be able to drag and drop a command button over any spreadsheet cell and the cell be automatically populated with the result of the function invoked when the command button is dropped. How do I invoke the command button drag-and-drop functionality.
View 1 RepliesI have already done the creation of button and the dragging of button at runtime already. But now i need to know how do i save the last dragged button on the form and also detect the name of the last clicked button. so lets say i now drag a button to coordinates 25,254. so when i exit the form and the next time i launch it, the button will still be at 25,254. and this one will go on for the number of button i created like 100. so when i launch the form the 100 button will be at the exact position where i last saved them.
the second part is lets say i created button1 and button2 on the form in runtime. so when i clicked the first button, it should display button1. and if i clicked on button 2, it should say button2. same goes for like 100buttons.

I insert a text box into form1. I move the mouse pointer on top of the text box. I press down on the left mouse button and begin to drag the text box. The problem is when I let go of the mouse button the text box is not dropped. it remain floating around. My only way out of this is to press the escape key which places the text bnox bak to its original location. Thinking that it might be my mouse I tested it in Power point and everything works correctly.

I want to implement drag and drop functionality in my program, but it isn't working. Here's the

I've set the AllowDrop property to true, and when I drag a file onto a program, the cursor changes to Unavailable, and I can't drop my file.
I need drop one item from one panel to another using a drag and drop feature. These items move from different cycles so need to drag and drop it into new cycle/column.
View 2 RepliesI am trying to open multiple files using a third-party program, by calling it from VB.NET. By default, the program I am using, through command line, only opens one file at a time - and if I call it again, it opens a new instance. (when started in GUI, I can drop many files on it).
Now I open it with
Shell("program file")
If the program is running, I want to add "file" on top of the running instance instead of starting a new instance.
Something like:
If Not procExists then
Shell("program file")
else
[Code].....
Unfortunately, just like Shell("program filename"), it opened lots of instances of "program", instead o loading all the files in the same instance.

hey guys i have a little app that shows pictures from the program directory .
View 1 RepliesI had a user ask me today if I could make it so they could simply drag and drop text from other programs into the app I've written. I found an old (2002 & 2003) article on drag and drop, but I'm sure things have been made better since then.
Anyone doing this today can point me in the right direction? Is this much of a pain to enable?
I am dragging a control over a different control as part of a drag/drop operation. AllowDrop is set for both the dragged control and the drop target. There is a DragDrop handler for the drop target, but when I drop on the target, the handler is never called, and nothing happens. I expect that I am overlooking something simple, but, as might be expected, I can't see it.
When I drag onto a different type of control, it is working correctly, and dragging to the control in question was once working correctly, but not anymore. I did make a bunch of changes, but the fundamental issue is that the dragdrop event is never raised for the control that is the drop target.
I have a picturebox that has a semi-complex image on it and also has a series of other pictureboxes, most of which are set to not visible. The way the program works, the user can click and drag a couple different items on the parent picturebox. The things they can drag are not actual controls, but parts of the image itself. That is all working fine. While testing, I had all of the subordinate pictureboxes (there are a variable number of them) visible showing a black background. I have now improved their implementation, so I changed the display so that only the subordinate pictureboxes that actually have something in them are visible. For all the others, they have .Visible = False.
The problem is that when I click and drag on one of the items in the parent picturebox, all the invisible pictureboxes become visible. They have no image in them, so they take on the color of the backgroud behind the parent picturebox. This is undesirable. I want the invisible pictureboxes to remain invisible during the drag and drop action. The one solution that seems promising is to set the image of all those pictureboxes to some transparent image such that, though they are visible, they will not appear as anything. A bit of testing shows that this technique would work.
I have finally got the drag and drop to work on my form, so the user can drop files on it. I have used the msdn example so i can get the whole filename (path + filename). But how do i get only the filename? (lol.zip) And maybe the path where it is?

I have AutoDragDrop enabled in my textbox. It drags the .jpg file into my program successfully. When I save it only saves the text not the .jpg file. I do realize that when I save the file I need to have the .jpg saved also and I am not sure how to accomplish this. I have checked multiple forums and googled of course. No luck as of yet.
View 3 RepliesI would like to create a split container with a three way split. The first split is a vertical split. The second is creating a horizontal split within panel2 of the first split container. panel1 will hold a treeview control the other two panels will hold listview controls
I think this question has been asked already in a couple different ways and I've reviewed those posts and I've tried to do what was suggested but it doesn't seem to work for me. I've tried to place a second split container inside panel2 of the first split containter. This gave me what appeared to be a three way vertical split.
I have a simple textfile which I want to drag-drop into the treeview. After the drop read the textfile (line by line) and create the nodes. There are no subnodes (what-so-ever). File looks like this:

line4
Is there any way of detecting the position where the Mouse Button is released during a Drag & Drop operation. I need to know whether the intended Drop position was not reached when the mouse button is released.
View 8 RepliesI am building a 'shape editor' which looks very similar to the Visual Studio form designer. I have a Toolbox control that holds a few 'Shapes' (such as RectangleShape, EllipseShape, TriangleShape, etc) which the user should be able to drag to the design view ("Canvas") in any MDI form. The Toolbox control is just a TreeView except that I add ToolboxItems to it (which are inherited TreeNodes). This dragging however does not seem to work...
