Dear Experts,<br />
<br />
I would like to drag and drop a file/folder from Windows Explorer into a standard textbox, and have the file name and path appear. &nbsp;I am using manual drag and drop. &nbsp;So I guess I need a way of converting Data.GetData(vbCFFiles) into text format. The Str() function does not work.<br />
<br />
Thanks!

VB6 drag and drop: grab file name and path into textbox

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.
