1) I'm dragging a file (.txt) into a rtb which works fine, but how do I get the filename? (messagebox whatever)
2) How do I restrict files to drop? (like a .exe)
vb.net
If e.Data.GetDataPresent(DataFormats.FileDrop) Then
Dim Files() As String
Files = e.Data.GetData(DataFormats.FileDrop)
Dim sReader As New StreamReader(Files(0))
1. Although I have enabled AllowDrop property of ComboBox it does not allow me to drag and drop files into ComboBox. Why?
2. Then should I process incoming files in the _DragDrop event, yes?
3. How can I get the Files.Count to get the number of dropped files?

View 7 RepliesI use a .NET richtextbox and I want to have the EnableAutoDragDrop property set to True. This allows user to drag&drop text, rtf and images around etc. However, I need to process files dropped into the richtextbox myself - I do not want them to be embedded as OLE objects when they are dropped.
How can I overcome this? Is there any way to delete embedded files from richtextbox?

View 3 RepliesI am working on a vb forms application in VS2008.What I am looking to do is have 3 file managers on the form.The top is the source where files can be copied to the 2 other file managers.What I have been looking for is an example of the file explorer so I can modify it.So far I have been unsuccessful in finding a good example so I am here to ask the experts.So the gist is the first file explorer will allow a user to connect to thier local hard drive.The other two file explorers would allow the user to connect to two different servers through entering the path they want to view those file trees.After that the user could click on the file they want to copy and then hit a button for example and the file would be copied from the local to the two other areas.Would it be easier to just use text boxes with a confirmation that the files are being copied?Or can a full file manager be built to drag and drop files?
View 2 RepliesI am trying to add multiple files to FTP server by dragging and dropping and I am able to do that using try catch block and if we give the ftp settings correctly it takes 1 sec to upload them but when we give wrong details it hangs up and dosen't give me any error message though If I give an exceptional message.
Now I am getting error message as well as success message for every file I add.I do not want that to be happen.where should I give messages for success and failure so that it should take few seconds for uploading and if not should give me a message immediately.

Can it be drap and drop item to other form control??How to write the event when mouse up at the other form control?
I 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?

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...

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:

I want just "The Big Bang Theory S01E01 - Pilot" to go into the listbox.
I 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.

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
