[SoftArt]

Hi Foxis,

I am familiar with drag & drop of files from explorer, but i need help with drag & drop of outlook attachments (pdf)
Does anyone have an example code for this?

You are wanting to drag an attachment in Outlook to a VFP app, get a reference to it, and process it in VFP in some fashion?

I didn't cover exactly this situation, but in this paper (http://tomorrowssolutionsllc.com/ConferenceSessions/Drag Your Applications into the 21st Century.pdf), I wrote about dragging from Outlook into VFP. Look for the section titled "Dragging from Outlook".

Yes, the file (pdf) should then be copied/created in VFP app to a specific directory.

I know your example, but I don't see any code to create the file.

Tamar,

in found a little bug in your code:

oObjColl = ThisForm.oOutlook.oExplorer.Selection must be
oObjColl = ThisForm..oExplorer.Selection

after that modification I got the attachement object and it´s SaveAsFile method.
Many thanks you for help und greetings from Germany.

Glad I was able to help.

I guess you found the code. For others, the downloads for each session on my site are linked at http://tomorrowssolutionsllc.com/conferencepapers.php.

Tamar,

I rejoiced a little too soon.
With your code I get information on all the attachments contained in the mail, but not the currently selected.
I have experimented a bit with AttachmentSelection but I can't get any further. Do you have another idea for me?

Not something I've played with, but AttachmentSelection looks like it should get you what you need. Maybe show us some code.
