Hello!

How can I get the image src url when dragging an image from a html-page (IE)
to a windows form?

I know how to get the url when dragging a href url using
data.GetDataPresent("UniformResourceLocator") etc but this isn't working
when dragging an image. I could encapsulate the image-tag with a anchor-tag
with the correct href to get the url but I can't use this method in my case.

When dragging a image without any encapsulating anchor-tag Internet Explorer
seems to dragdrop the entire image data(?) But how can I get the src url?

Hi Andreas,
try this, it should work to get the source URL for your picture
protected override void OnDragDrop(DragEventArgs drgevent)
{
if(CanCopy(drgevent) && drgevent.Data.GetDataPresent("FileDrop"))
{
string filename=((string [])drgevent.Data.GetData("FileDrop"))[0];
}
}
 
I can only get it to return the the local chached file path, not the
original url... ?

Thanks anyway!

/Andreas
