OLDdragdrop data.getdata(format???)

[Horrid]

I have made a web toolbar that users can drag items onto and I capture the URL.
The problem is that the getdata function requires you to specify the format you want to get the data in. When they drag a jpg I get an error because I try to read it as a string and not a binary. How do I get the format to use in the getdata funciton?

Thanks

I'm not really familiar with getdata, but the entry
in MSDN says that if the format is set as 0 or
is omitted, then getdata uses the "appropriate"
format.

does this help at all?

Check the format with GetFormat. It returns a boolean dependant upon the datatype you want to check, to

If Data.GetFormat(1) = True Then ' It's a string...

If Data.GetFormat(2) = True Then ' A Bitmap

...etc
