I would like to know if this is true or not.

..NET does not support OLE drap and drop.

Let's say a OLE container(Scheduler) does not accept drag and drop from
another VB.NET control (Textbox) into it????

Find it hard to believe microsoft is not supporting this on VB.NET.

Anybody out there that know the asnwer to this one please.

Thanks in advance.

I'm guessing, but thats probably more to do with the object you are trying
to drop. Scheduler will need an object of Type Appointment, or something
similar I would think.

It is not true. .NET does support OLE drag & drop.

It is up to Scheduler on what formats it accepts, and what formats the
VB.NET control offers.

For example you can select & drag text from Word or Excel and drop in onto a
Windows Forms app, and it will be transferred as DataFormats.Text plus some
other common formats & some Word & Excel specific formats.

If your Scheduler control uses a proprietary format that only your Scheduler
knows about, then the TextBox cannot offer the format to it.

Charles Petzold's book "Programming Microsoft Windows with Microsoft Visual
Basic.NET - Core Reference" from MS Press provides some good information on
Drag & Drop, plus a sample app that shows the formats that are available
when you drag & drop with another app.

Hope this helps
Jay
