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.

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]

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]..

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.

I found this code but can't use it as its VB6 and I need VB 2008. I tried changing it but can't seem to get anywhere.
Code:
Private Sub List1_OLEDragDrop(Data As DataObject, Effect As Long, Button As Integer, Shift As Integer, X As Single, Y As Single)
Dim vFile As Variant
If Data.GetFormat(vbCFFiles) Then
For Each vFile In Data.Files
List1.AddItem vFile
Next vFile
End If
End Sub

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.

What I want to do is click a button (button will relate to a specific drawing / image) and have it appear on the cursor. I need to then 'Drop it' onto a form. Then I may need to select another button (button will relate to another specific drawing / image) and have it appear on the cursor, click on or near to the previous image and have the new image place itself against the existing on. I may choose to use drag and drop instead as the initial 'get image' command.
What I am trying to produce is an assembly building package where you can drag and drop various options onto the screen to build up a full assembly of a unit. My question is what would be the best 'work area' for this? Picture Box? or another type. I need to set the screen layout and then I can start looking at the code required for the controls.

I'm trying to have either a calendar, or multiple panels representing different job duties, where the user will drag a label, or some similar object onto the panel, thus scheduling by dragging and dropping.
I've found tutorials for drag and drop in TreeViews, but I don't see how to drag a label, or any other control. I see the AllowDrop property is there, but the ItemDrag event is not.

As I have been working on a project from a development book for self learning, I am having a problem with Dragging and dropping on my form. My form has labels that represent questions on one side and labels on the other side to be drag/dropped as the answers. I understand that under the element's properties there is Dragdrop and you can work with that, but how exactly do I actually make the element drag/drop? I want to be able to click and hold the element to drag drop, just as you would for reorganizing preferred settings or for my case of a drag/drop Q and A form.

I would like to ask for some help in my playbook project regarding its interface. Here's the scenario: I have 6 picture boxes 5 of which shows the players and 1 picture box for the basketball. What I would like to do is to drag those picture boxes on the court at run time but when I drag them inside the court the images should not be moved instead they should only be copy inside the court.
how do I do it? Im having a hard time solving this problem. what I have right now is that when I drag the images the image are moved to the court and not copied. Also after dragging the first picture box that picture box from the source should be hidden then the 2nd picture box will now be visible and so on...
