Try double-clicking the file and then tell Windows which app to use to open it.

I think you can use FindWindowEx to get the SysListView32 of Windows Explorer, then use SendMessage with LVM_SETITEMSTATE to select the items. The difficulty is to know the position of the items. Perhaps LVM_FINDITEM can be used for this. In this way you can also select multiple files.

AFAIK no, since files (on FAT and NTFS) are identified by their fully qualified name. Methinks you're better off storing information such as this in the registry. /ravi My new year's resolution: 2048 x 1536 Home | Music | Articles | Freeware | Trips ravib(at)ravib(dot)com

I looked into this a little. It seems that when you drag an image from MS Word, it is in fact a linked or embedded OLE Object. The data object contains a CF_EMBEDDEDOBJECT format that needs to be extracted using "standard OLE techniques". I've never done this before, sorry I can't really help you with it. However, this does explain why you are able to drag and drop images from IE to Word and Win Forms, but not Word to Win Forms. --EricDV Sig--------- Some problems are so complex that you have to be highly intelligent and well informed just to be undecided about them. - Laurence J.
