I'm not sure if this is a Visual Basic problem or an API problem but maybe someone here can help
I'm trying to create an application that allows a document dragged from Groupwise to be "captured" (I just want the document id and library) and stored in a database.
According to the Visual Basic help files:
It's possible for the GetData and SetData methods to use data formats other than those listed in Settings, including user-defined formats registered with Windows via the RegisterClipboardFormat() API function.
However, RegisterClipboardFormat returns a long-
Declare Function RegisterClipboardFormat Lib "user32" Alias "RegisterClipboardFormatA" (ByVal lpString As String) As Long
-and GetData requires the input to be an integer.
Since RegisterClipboardFormat is returning a value in excess of 40000, it's not working for me.
Any idea what I can do to fix this (or a better approach)?
