Drag and Drop

[pmclinn]

What is the argument structure for allowing a .exe file to except a
drop file.

Example.

I take a picture (jpg) and drag it over a exe. The exe launches and
then shows the picture.

Hi Peter

Look up command line arguments

Public Sub Main(args() As String)

If args.Length <> 1 Then

' Just load the application normally

Else

' Do what you want with the file
' Example: Start program
' PictureBox1.Ima ge...

End If

End Sub

The above is just an example for you to get the idea.

You will need to change your application to start up from Sub Main too

I hope this helps
