Dragging a mail from Outlook/Outlook Express in to a .NET VB appHello,
I've just started to look seriousl at VB and .Net. I have written a calendar app and am trying to find the best way to drag and drop messages from Outlook/Outlook Express ditrectly in to the calendar.Not looking for specifics really just the best way of dragging the message and any attachments in to a VB form really. I've seen a couple of posts on this but nothing definitive.Any pointers gratefully recieved Regards Jim Florence Jim,
On those pages (and click in the links on the first page there are a lot of samples) is this very good described. clipboard http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/vbcon/html/vbconDragDropClipboardSupport.asp sample drag and drop http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/dv_vstechart/html/vbtchimpdragdrop.asp Clipboardclass http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/cpref/html/frlrfsystemwindowsformsclipboardclasstopic.asp I hope this helps a little bit? Cor Cor,
Many thanks for the quick reply. I've looked at one of these but the Outlook side of things seems to work differently. I'll have a proper read through all these articles. Your help is much appreciated Regards Jim Show quoteHide quote "Cor Ligthert" <notmyfirstn***@planet.nl> wrote in message news:uDaU3b$JFHA.1176@TK2MSFTNGP12.phx.gbl... > Jim, > > On those pages (and click in the links on the first page there are a lot > of samples) is this very good described. > > clipboard > http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/vbcon/html/vbconDragDropClipboardSupport.asp > > > sample drag and drop > http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/dv_vstechart/html/vbtchimpdragdrop.asp > > > Clipboardclass > http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/cpref/html/frlrfsystemwindowsformsclipboardclasstopic.asp > > I hope this helps a little bit? > > Cor > > Cor,
How would using the clipboard help resolve this issue? Are you thinking in terms of using it for the attachments. Jim, In your original post you wrote about Outlook Express. As far as I am aware you aren't able to do it because nothing is exposed, but in Outlook you have the object model. Crouchie,

That was the reason for the message, at least it tells that there are different structures (structures meant not in the sence of VBNet) that can be moved. Cor Guys,

Still be interested to hear though. Perhaps a solution involving the display of a temp directory window within your application, would allow OE to drag and drop its load into the window (since it thinks it is simply doing a save as file to this directory), and from there - streaming the data of the file from the disk....
