SftDirectory 3.5 - ActiveX File/Folder Control

DataObject.Files Property

Returns a collection of filenames used by the sftCFFiles format.

Syntax

Get

object

A DataObject object.

Files

Returns a collection of filenames used by the sftCFFiles format.

Comments

The Files property returns a collection of filenames used by the sftCFFiles format.

The Files collection is filled with file names only when the DataObject object contains data of type sftCFFiles. The DataObject object can contain several different types of data. You can iterate through the Item property to retrieve the list of file names.

The Files collection can be filled to allow an application to act as a drag source for a list of files (similar to Windows Explorer).

Examples

VB.NET

Private Sub AxSftDirectory1_OLEDragDrop(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As AxSftDirectoryLib30._ISftDirectoryEvents_OLEDragDropEvent) Handles AxSftDirectory1.OLEDragDrop
    ' make sure the control doesn't perform its usual default handling of
    ' the files (copy/move, etc.)
    e.defaultHandling = False

    If e.data.GetFormat(SftOLEClipboardConstants.sftCFFiles) Then
        Dim I As Integer
        For I = 1 To e.data.Files.Count
            MessageBox.Show("""" & e.data.Files(I) & """ being dropped.")
            ' perform your own processing here
        Next
    Else
        ' some other format
