Drag And Drop In VB 2008 - Mouse Button The Text Box Is Not Dropped
Sep 5, 2009
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 trying to find a drag and drop cursor for use in a program. It is not in the standard Windows cursors. It's the one you see when moving a control in Visual Studio or when reordering slides in powerpoint - arrow with rectangle below.
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 writing an application for seat reservations. I use a DataGridView to represent seats. Each free seat is coloured in green and occupied seats are in blue.DataGridView is populated with names from database and user could add a name to a seat choosing from a list.Moreover the user has the possibility to move a name from one seat to another - not occupied via drag and drop operation.Eveything works well, but when moving a name from one cell to another I have to position the cursor over a cell that is one row above and four columns on the left of that one I choose.Which is the reason? Here is the code
is it possible to link a personal created class with a Mouse Event? I created a class and I want to make it possible to make it interactive with the mouse. So when the user goes over the GDI-created shape (which is declared and created in that class), he has to see some information about that shape, like the name etc.... And the user has to be able to drag and drop that shape.
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.
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)

I am trying to figure out a way to include the listview's tag field when dragging one listview's subitems into another listview. I am hoping someone here has experience with this. My Listview drag code is below - the two listviews that I am dragging subitems into or from are LV1 and LV3. Also, this is being done in Visual Basic 2008 and the project is a windows application.
I 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.
Public Class Form1 Dim tm As New Timer Dim Index As Integer = 0 Dim myMousedown As String
Public Class Form1 Dim i(1) As Integer Private Sub Button1_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As

My current project is making a word processor, and i would like to add the function to be able to drag an image from list view, in a dock panel of my form into a rich text box.
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 looked at "How do I place an image with a mouse-click in Javascript?" but it had a small snippet of Java; immensely larger than my knowledge of Java. And that is the closest I've come to finding an answer in the past week. Here's what I would like to do (don't know if its even possible):
I have a panel and a toolstrip with 3 buttons. Each button represents a different image. I want to click on a button (once) and then move into the panel and everytime I click the mouse button it drops the image where ever I clicked. This only ends when either I click back on the same button or one of the other buttons. I do not want to drag an image into the panel each time. In other words the button stays depressed and the event/action stays active.
How do I drag and drop a control (such as a GroupBox) during runtime from one location on a form to another? I simply want to move it around during runtime.

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 need to drag and drop to textbox from tree view. Here while drag and drop to text box i need to add the dragged text to anywhere in the text box which we have already dragged some nodes here.

I have been able to implement drag and drop successfully on my listView object if you were to drop a file on it, however I seem to be having some troubles if the user were to drag the folder onto the object. Is there a simple way to check if the user dropped a folder, and if so, list all of the files in the folder/subfolders?
I'm working on a small utility program and found that I have a need to copy the contents of listboxes, textboxes and other control from one to another.
I just started playing around with Drag and Drop but it seems lacking a bit...for instance, if I wanted to drag the contents of a listview to a text box, it doesn't look like I can do that easily if at all.
Can you use a drag and drop to copy the contents of different control types easily?I thought about using the drag and drop method for notification of the intent to copy the contents and then I would code the copying.
The idea (although I know it will be slow but that is okay for this utility) to copy the source to a textbox and then from the textbox to the target. The content won't be that large and speed is not a concern at this point.
Here is my issue if I have to do it this way.
1 - How can I use the control names to do this?
2 - How do I get the target control name?
I figured I would create a function that I would pass the source control name and the target control name and based on type, perform the appropriate method of copying the data.
I haven't figured out a way to get the target control name. I can use activecontrol.name for the source.

I am trying to implement a DnD interface where the user drags a button onto a DGV & a new row would be inserted at the drop point. My first problem is how can I have the DGV rows highlight as the cursor is dragged over them? And then I need to get the row index when the mouse button is released so that I can insert a row at that point?
