I have done some nice drag and drop code which works from in my vb application. However, how do I get my end users to drag and drop from another application onto mine (i.e. a picture file from explorer into a image box in my application) if I cannot set the start drag when the mouse goes down. If I try to put code in the drag and drop event.... the computer simply changes the mouse to a no entry sign when trying to drag another file from somewhere else on my computer.
