File drag drop on webbrowser control

Message Topic Search Topic Options Post Reply Create New Topic Printable Version Translate Topic

      Hello,
   I have a form having a web browser control on it.    
   I want to get the file name(s) along with path(s) whenever some file is dragged and dropped on my web browser control. 
   I added in code Application.RegisterAsDropTarget = True.  After that, when a file is draged and dropped on my webbrowser , the webbrowser loads the file's content.  And the  DragDrop event is not fired. 

   How can I achieve this functionality?

   Thanks in advance!

	Hi, Why don't you use the WB navigate_complete event ? When you drag and drop a file on a WB the file is loaded in the WB (do you want this ?) and the navigate_complete event is fired. So you can do something like this : Private Sub WebBrowser1_NavigateComplete2(ByVal pDisp As Object, URL As Variant) MsgBox "File loaded " & URL End Sub Hope this help.

	Hi, Thank you for your reply. It doesn't help me very much because I don't want the file to load in the webbrowser. I want to get only the file name along with path. My application is an instant messenger. I want to have the possibility to send a file to the person I'm talking to, just like Yahoo messenger does. Any other idea? Thanks!

	If you want you can cancel the navigation ! For this use the before navigate event : Private Sub WebBrowser1_BeforeNavigate2(ByVal pDisp As Object, URL As Variant, Flags As Variant, TargetFrameName As Variant, PostData As Variant, Headers As Variant, Cancel As Boolean) MsgBox "File to upload : " & URL Cancel = True End Sub You should write some conditions to cancel the navigation. If you don't do that your webbrowser will no navigate at all.

	Hi, The background of a webbrowser can't be transparent because it's the background of the webpage. You want to allow the drag and drop ON the webbrowser or OF the webbrowser ? It's different, if you want to allow drag and drop of a file on the webbrowser just look at my answer on the top of this post. The drag and drop is controled by the webbrowser control, you don't have to write any code (except for interception). Note : i'm working with VB6, not you i think... Hope this help,
