- Where: Visual Basic for Windows 2.0
-
- The app: A simple program that monitors a directory which holds
- newly arrived mail. When new mail arrives the icon
- changes to a mailbox with the falg up and optionally
- sounds the WAV file of my choice.
-
- The problem: I would like to extend the application to accept files dropped
- from File Manager. These files would then be used in a form
- that I have written which delivers outbound mail. The outbound
- mailer seems to work fine but I can't get the minimized VB
- app to accept files. I've tried all variations of the DRAGDROP
- capabilities in VB but to no avail.
-
- The plan: Does anyone know of a VBK or external DLL that will allow me
- to trigger the DragAcceptFile doohicky so that I can
- DragQueryFile and do my mail thing?
-
- Many Thanks
