Drag And drop

[Bam_BamIR]

Hey anyone know where i can find the details on when you click on a file form explorer and drag and drop it on a control,what info is gathered and where it is stored.
what im looking to do is drag and drop specific file types onto a listbox and have the listbox display the path where the file resides including the filename. thx in advance

Put a listbox on the form and set it's OLEDropMode property to Manual.

Private Sub List1_OLEDragDrop(Data As DataObject, _
Effect As Long, Button As Integer, Shift As Integer, X As _
Single, Y As Single)

If Data.GetFormat(vbCFFiles) Then List1.AddItem Data.Files(1)

End Sub

Drag files on to the Listbox and watch what happens .

thanks it worked very well i even changed the code for multiple file drag/drop and extension verification,just when you think you have a pretty good handle on vb something pops up and the only thing you can do is scratch your head, must go read up on ole again thanks again
