Wow...

For a start, "dragged filename includes the path" means you do get the path, but you'll need to parse it out. Other than that, we can't help you unless you help us.

Code: Select all

while(1){
cout<<"I READ IT BEFORe";
}

I think you can't understand what i mean,simply i need an object(OLE) in my VB6 code to accept any other object e.g(file)
& get information from second object(file) like path,size,date..
if possible,if not i will search another method to solve my case

thx,

Hi,

You have already been informed that there is an OLEdrop even which passes the name of the file to your program. You can then use the file name to get other information about it. What hasn't been answered about your question?

The first Google hit for "vb6 ole drop" is here and although I had no idea how to do OLE drag and drops in VB6 I already now have a pretty good idea, particularly because of pages 3 and 4 of the article. Note that one of the objects that can be dropped is a "file list".

You should have been able to find this information yourself from the answers given above. If this does not answer your question adequately, you need to learn to phrase your questions better.

Cheers,
Adam

I seriously suggest you reread it. And this time, actually understand it and put its advice into practice.

Your posts smack of someone with social problems.
