I want to be able to drag a file from Windows Explorer, Desktop or whatever, get the filename into a variable, and execute code from there. &nbsp;I know that the OleDrop mode will give me an event, but how do I get the filename? (i.e. &quot;c:\testing\mytext.txt&quot;)<br />

I want to have a form on to which the user can drag a file. &nbsp;I want the drop to be an event, so that I can process the file as necessary. &nbsp;How do I report the path to the file to a variable, and which event should I use to execute my code?

Visual Basic is Microsoft’s event-driven programming language and integrated development environment (IDE) for its Component Object Model (COM) programming model. It is relatively easy to learn and use because of its graphical development features and BASIC heritage. It has been replaced with VB.NET, and is very similar to VBA (Visual Basic for Applications), the programming language for the Microsoft Office product line.
