I'm a bit stumped here.
I am trying to doing some mapping by taking information from a list view and dragdrop the text information into a text box. The user is able to drop the information into a variety of text boxes depending on a selection that has been previously made. All the examples I have seen deal with single txtbox examples. So.....

1. Can I use a single subroutine to handle the dragdrop for multiple txtboxes?

2. If 1. is true do I need to determine the position of the mouse and then see what txtbox I am trying to drop information into or is there a way that this is automatically done?

Do you want the same information in multiple textboxes or different information in each one?

Different information in each one.

This also means having to know what text box that the mouse is dropping into.

Answers:

1. Yes, you just add the textbox(s) to the event handler using the Handles keyword.
----------------------------------------------------------
Private Sub TextBox_DragDrop(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.Windows.Forms.DragEventArgs) Handles TextBox1.DragDrop, TextBox2.DragDrop

  'add your code here

End Sub
----------------------------------------------------------
2. As shown above, "sender" is the textbox that receives the DragDrop, so you can use this.

Thanks J!:)

This stopped me from doing some really wacky code. Goes to show that I have more yet to learn about vb.Net:)

Glad I could help.
