View 1 RepliesI have a textbox here, and I want the user to drag and drop their file on there, and it will display the directory of that file, in that same textbox.
View 1 RepliesI have a textbox on a form that is set to allow dragdrop operations from txt files.Basically you drag a .txt file onto the txtbox, the content of the text file is displayed in the textbox.All is working fine, however after the textfile is displayed in the textbox, the text box text is for some reason is highlighted.I don't want the text to be highlighted (or selected) after it's being displayed on the textbox.Second issue, after I close the file that I dragged, for some reason even if I didn't make any changes to the file, it is acting as if the file has changed.In another words, if I open a text file using my MenuItem Open item, and if I do not change the file, If I close the file it's fine it closes.However, if I close a file that I draged into the text box and then close the file without changing anything in it, the stringcompare function is telling me that the file has changed... I can't understand why.

View 4 RepliesSince I like to use the ReadAllBytes and WriteAllBytes methods to save my variables to disk, I have had no troubles thus far with Integers.It has been easy to convert a short integer into a string of two bytes to save them using WriteAllBytes as following example:-
ReDimxji(0 To 601)
For I% = 0 To 300
J% = hbs(I%)
[code].....
But now I want to store some Single variables using WriteAllBytes, so I need to convert my single variables to a string of four bytes for each.
How can I programatically reveal the name of the current function or sub being executed? How can I programatically determine when a usercontrol is in focus. I've been using the .Paint peramiter and while this works, I think there has to be a better way.
View 2 RepliesAlright here's my situation: I have a form. This is a very small form that can be moved with the mouse (formborderstyle=none). The transparencyKey is 0,0,1. The form back color is 0,0,1. There is a label on the form. I drag files to this label(its backcolor is black[0,0,0]). What I want is for the filesize to be checked. I already have the uploading to ftpcode, I just want to know if the file is above my limit I set. (250mb per file)

View 4 RepliesI 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?
Im trying to allow the user to drag the text back and forth from labels. The code I have below seems to just show the little circle with a slash through it, and I cant drag or drop the text?

I'm doing drag and drop from a list view. In my starting list view's ItemDrag event handler, I say (amomgst other things):
data.SetFileDropList(coll)
data.SetText(CurrentFolder, TextDataFormat.Text)
sender.DoDragDrop(data, DragDropEffects.Copy Or DragDropEffects.Move)
CurrentFolder being a string that holds the name of the folder represented by the list view. In the target control's DragDrop event handler, CType(e.Data, DataObject).GetText evaluates to what CurrentFolder was when ItemDrag was executed.But: e.Data.GetDataPresent(TextDataFormat.Text) always evaluates to FALSE.If I replace "TextDataFormat.Text" by "DataFormats.Text" (in both places) the result is the same. I am asking this although my code does what I want, because I feel that I should not call CType(e.Data, DataObject).GetText before I have established that TextData is actually present. So how do I properly check for the presence of the text data.
I have a pop up form that contains a listbox. Right now I am telling it exactly which text boxes I want to be able to drag and drop to, but I was just told to have it drag and drop to every text box on the main form.The main form with the text boxes has a bunch of tabs on it that hold each section. Each section has text boxes, so how would I code it so they are all capable of allowing drag/drop without specifying each one separately?
This is the code from my pop up form:
vb
Private Sub txtDropIn_DragDrop(ByVal sender As Object, _ ByVal e As System.Windows.Forms.DragEventArgs) Dim DropInTextbox As TextBox = CType(sender, TextBox) Dim TextToDrop As String = CStr(e.Data.GetData(GetType(String))) 'get rid of leading " - " if there isn't 'anything in the textbox If String.IsNullOrEmpty(MainWin.TextBox1.Text) Then TextToDrop = TextToDrop.TrimStart(CChar(" -

I m doing a touch screen interface, to browser a page I used a webbrowser control, and in order to get ride of the ugly scrollbar, i m trying to use mousedown and mousemove event on the webbrowser to move the page around, it worked but when i m doing it, it select and highlight the content on the web too, how can i stop that?
do I need to create a extended webbrowser control by Inherits the orginal one?
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'm running Windows 7 x 64 and the latest version of VS 2008.I have spent forever trying to get the following VB6 code snippet to work in a VB 2008 Windows Forms application. The VB6 application works like a charm, even on Win 7 x64.Here is the relevant (I hope) VB6 code. It allows me to select text in IE8's browser window and then drag and drop it onto a TextBox called txtLink in a very simple VB6 application.
Code:
Private Sub txtLink_OLEDragDrop(Data As DataObject, Effect As Long, Button As Integer, Shift As Integer, X As Single, Y As Single)

OK, so I want to read in the file as whatever someone drags and drops on the .exe file. Once I get that file to be used as the file in the program, I'm fine, I know what I'm doing, but I'm having no luck getting that part done.So far I have this that I found:
Code:
Dim s As String = Command$()
Console.WriteLine(s)

You will have to excuse me I am a little bit new to VB. I was wondering if anyone might be able to tell me how I can have my VB application accept a dropped file and then copy that dropped file to a location on the hard drive. Basically what I have is an application that I want when an outlook attachment is dropped on to my VB app on the main form I want it to copy that file to a location on the C: drive. I have tried googling this but all I can find is how to do it between controls and with a listbox.
View 5 RepliesI spent a while searching for answers on the web, but all pages seem to forget about my query.
I'm experienced well enough with receiving drag and drop events of any kind, including images and files.
I also feel comfortable about the other way round -- using the DoDragDrop function to start a drang and drop of any kind.
Any kind, except files. How can I start a file drag and drop, for example of an image?
I tried setting the data to a string containing the file path but that didn't work.

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.

I am planning on being able to drag an XML file and the application goes into an import mode to create a new record in the DB. I think I may need to have an identifier in the header of the file such as ClientImg or the likes so that the App looks for that to let it know it is the proper file type.
