This is the first time I am working with drag and drop. So I have a form with a listbox
and nothing else. I would like to be able to drag and drop files from desktop or windows explorer into my listbox. This is my code. What is missing?
Form:
public partial class Form1 : Form
{
public Form1()
{
InitializeComponent();
}
private void listBox1_DragEnter(object sender, DragEventArgs e)
{
if (e.Data.GetDataPresent(DataFormats.FileDrop))
e.Effect = DragDropEffects.All;
else
e.Effect = DragDropEffects.None;
}
private void listBox1_DragDrop(object sender, DragEventArgs e)
{
string[] s = (string[])e.Data.GetData(DataFormats.FileDrop, false);
int i;
for (i = 0; i < s.Length; i++)
listBox1.Items.Add(s[i]);
}
}
Form1.Designer.cs: (InitializeComponents)
private void InitializeComponent()
{
this.listBox1 = new System.Windows.Forms.ListBox();
this.SuspendLayout();
//
// listBox1
//
this.listBox1.AllowDrop = true;
this.listBox1.FormattingEnabled = true;
this.listBox1.Location = new System.Drawing.Point(30, 23);
this.listBox1.Name = "listBox1";
this.listBox1.Size = new System.Drawing.Size(376, 238);
this.listBox1.TabIndex = 0;
this.listBox1.DragDrop += new System.Windows.Forms.DragEventHandler(this.listBox1_DragDrop);
this.listBox1.DragEnter += new System.Windows.Forms.DragEventHandler(this.listBox1_DragEnter);
this.listBox1.DragOver += new System.Windows.Forms.DragEventHandler(this.listBox1_DragOver);
//
// Form1
//
this.AutoScaleDimensions = new System.Drawing.SizeF(6F, 13F);
this.AutoScaleMode = System.Windows.Forms.AutoScaleMode.Font;
this.ClientSize = new System.Drawing.Size(438, 366);
this.Controls.Add(this.listBox1);
this.Name = "Form1";
this.Text = "Form1";
this.ResumeLayout(false);
}
