View 4 RepliesI know that there is usually a DoDragDrop method that starts a drag and drop operation. And that there are events (such as DragEnter, DragOver, DragDrop, DragLeave) that can be handled on the target side.
Are there any events on the source of the dragdrop that will tell me whether the dragdrop operation was completed, or possibly cancelled?

View 3 RepliesSo I open files and do whatever with them right. I've set the initial directory to equal the last directory, but whenever I open multiple files, it never sets the directories properly.

When I switched to a IM convo, it froze. When I left it to run, it worked.

In the above iFormat is the BMP image format.
The picture box displays the correct image but the saved image shows in Windows Explorer and Paint as all black.
