See the DoDragDrop method for more information, as well as an example. .NET encapsulates the OLE drag and drop into (overly-)simple calls, also making use of the DragOver, DragDrop, and other related events.

I've done it easily in the past. The only stipulation - without having to P/Invoke OLE's DoDragDrop function and the related OLE interfaces - is that you must have a file related to the item in your ListView. For example, lets say you store the actual path of the file in the ListViewItem.Tag property, so in the event handler for ListView.ItemDrag, you could do something like this:
Private Sub listView1_ItemDrag(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As ItemDragEventArgs)
Dim path As String = CStr(e.Tag)
Dim do As New DataObject(DataFormats.FileDrop, path)
listView1.DoDragDrop(do, DragDropEffects.Copy)
End Sub If your ListView contains "virtual" files that you need to stream to the drop target, you have to revert to OLE drag and drop, which can be done using P/Invoke and COM interop for declaring the related interfaces and structs.

While a single string should work, also try a String() array with one element - the path. This does work. I've used it many times. Just make sure the file actually exists, since the .NET FCL doesn't expose other STGMEDIUM types (streams, storage, etc.).

I am trying from last 1-2 days. But Explorer does not recognise and can not perform actions like copy/move. As soon as I started dragging a file from windows (VB.NET) application to Explorer ICON gets changed but it does ot perform any action for file copy OR file Move.
If anyone can provide me a sample code i will be very gr8ful.
Thanks

I have a page where I am uploading an image. When the page is first called, the current image is displayed, after they upload a new one image, the new image is displayed. Here is my logic, When I use the code in red, the image displays and refreshes after hitting upload when working on my local computer. But when I move it over to the server. I get the broken image icon for the images. So I used the code in green and the images would show up fine. But I have to hit refresh after I upload to get the new picture to display. The code in blue is where i view the uploaded picture. Also the ConfigurationSettings.AppSettings("PhotoPath") 's value is
"../Images\ReatorPics\"

I am using VB.NET Standard edition and it doesn't have Crystal reports. My question is how can i create report in vb.net with out crystal reports? If any one has any examples, I would really appriciate it.
Thank you,
Santana

YES, possible. You can use the datagrid, and other normal controls to print your own reports with custom alignments etc 
He who controls others may be powerful,
But he who has mastered himself is mightier still.

Hi,
Alrite, I found a way to kill the process (hidden). But now I see that the application which kills this process hangs because the process which I just killed (cmd.exe) basically was executing compile commands using gcc, g++, etc. So in the task manager, I see that cmd.exe disappears because I killed it, but I also see g++.exe, cc1plus.exe for a second or so, and then they disappear too.
Also the whole CPU time is taken up by this application, when it hangs.
So I think that the application hangs because the other processes started by cmd.exe stay for sometime before exiting.
Is there a way to kill the main window (cmd.exe) and all the related threads/exe attached to it?
Thanks.

We can use some API function to get *** textbox password from another Application with win98 or older. Windows NT can not be done with API functions
Who can help me write application to do this work

I think this security flaw was closed after Windows 98.

Yes it was, and is documented. No external process can query text when the EM_PASSWORD style is set. In order to do so, you must "inject" your code into the application's process space using system hooks or valid plug connections whereby the application loads plugins into its own process space. There is an article about this in CodeProject if you search.

I am finishing myfirst application and have assigned a new file extension. I want the allow the user to double click on the file to open the application and then the file that was selected. I have set up the Fiile Types Editor in the setup project, but am unsure how to add code to my application to actually open the file. Can anyone help me?
Thanks!

ok so you have associated your file type with your application in folder options > file types? that is step 1.
<br />
Private Sub Form1_Load(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles MyBase.Load<br />
Dim fileName As String = System.Environment.CommandLine.Substring( _<br />
System.Environment.CommandLine.IndexOf(Chr(34) & " " & Chr(34)) + 3)<br />
<br />
'this is now a string containing the exact path & filename which was opened with the program.<br />
fileName = fileName.Substring(0, fileName.Length - 1)<br />
<br />
'then in this sub or another, do something with the file:<br />
'(in this case, open the file, and copy the text in it into a textbox)<br />
Dim inFile As IO.StreamReader = IO.File.OpenText(fileName)<br />
textBox1.text = inFile.ReadToEnd<br />
inFile.Close()<br />
<br />
End Sub<br />
all you need here really is the 'fileName' string which i setup for you, and you can do what you want with it, or you can use the exact example above and test it out.
let me know if this helps.
[many thanks to the Rage man himself.]

I tried this and got a path without the drive letter. What am I doing wrong?
Thanks!

i tried this exact example when i made it for you, on my computer and it worked properly. if for whatever reason it isnt working properly, take the line where the string delcaration for fileName is. edit that line to something like Dim fileName As String = System.Environment.CommandLine instead. then test this string (with, ex, a msgbox) to see what it is actually returning when u try and open a file with the program. keep motifying it (like how i did, taking a substring from it) untill it works. i just built a new computer last nite and have yet to reinstall VS.net so i cant help with examples for now.

I got the path string right using your suggestion (by building the application from within Studio.NET and looking at the path for the .exe file). However when I tried opening the installed application by double clicking a file, I got an " illegal character in path" error. How can I debug this? Is there a way to set a breakpoint in the installed executable?
Thanks!
|
|
|
|

im not sure how to do that.
post the source here or send me a zip of your project and ill chk it out.

Did you get something like this:
Settings\userid\Desktop\filename.txt
If so, go back to your file association and put quotation marks around the %1 marker.
myapp.exe "%1"

I've got the quotes around the "%1". I can't figure our how to break the execution of the code on the installed program, when I double click on the file, so that I can see what the path string actually is. I therefore don't know the path string that is being generated. The files are in a folder on my desktop, so your path is conceptually correct with the addition of the folder name before the filename.
I did find a stupid mistake and am working to fix it. I'll post the relevant code as soon as I'm not (too) ashamed of it.
Can you tell me how to debug an installed program?
Thanks!

All you have to do to test your app with command line arguments is go to the Project menu, select <projectname> Properties, click on the Configuration Properties folder on the left, then select the Debugging item. On the right, you'll find a blank for command line parameters. Just fill it in with the full path of the file your trying to use (without the quotes around it.)

OK, now we are getting somewhere! I can see the path string, but it includes BOTH the path to the application executable and the file whose path I put into the command line as you described. The error is probably the result of 2 drive letters and 2 colons.
What am I doing wrong?
Thanks again!
