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.Image...

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
