Copy-paste a file to a richtextbox?

You need to use the OLE objects the RichTextBox supports for this.

Hello, sorry for my late reply. (no email response)

Could you please give me a little example code.  For example I want to add automatically the file(s) path\test.doc, or/and path\test.xls to the richtextbox.

I 've tried different ways but none worked.

Thank you

By the way, I've checked your info about the OLEObjects.

I'v tried it, but I get the contents of the file, I would like to have the file as a shortcut(a file) in the richtextbox.  Just like in Outlook when you insert a file or when you copy in the explorer a file and then copy it into the richtextbox.

Maybe I'm doing something wrong?

Thanks

Natively RichTextBoxes do not support hyperlinks like you are talking about.  You can however, look here:

Hello again,

I've checked the link information but I'can't download the project example. (so for the moment not helpful)

I've also tried the richtextbox.oleobjects.add method again.  After using the displaytype I got a nice result but the problem is that I can't add more documents, files.

The last approch I wanted to ask is copying the file to the clipboard and then paste it into a richtextbox.  I 've already found an example on this site but it's for VB.net, here's the code(copy file to clipboard):

Dim DataObject As New DataObject()
Dim file(0) As String
file(0) = "C:\Test.txt"
DataObject.SetData(DataFormats.FileDrop, file)
Clipboard.SetDataObject(DataObject)

Can you look at it please, maybe you can easy translate it because it doesn't work in a normal VB6 project. (The pasting can I do with an API)

By the way if you want more points, let me know.

I don't know why you cannot download from the last link provided.

Personally I don't think you're going to want to go the route you are looking at at the moment.  However, if you do, you will want to check out the following:

I've checked the link, I know how to copy a picture(bmp-file), but I didn't find anything how to copy a none picture file(*.xls,*.doc,...) to the clipboard. Is this even possible? If not, I will have to use another solution.
