Drag and Drop Component Suite: Outlook embedded images

Hi...

 

Is it possible to drop embedded images from outlook as a file into a folder...with a dummy name?

Imho not...

 

Thanks...

I can't see why not.

You haven't stated if your application is the drop source or the drop target, but if you can drop to/from Outlook from/to the desktop, then you can do the same from/to your own application.

Hi

 

I don't use the studio yet. I was only interested in the principle of whether this is possible at all.
I have an Outlook mail with which the images are embedded via copy/pase. These have NO file name. I would like to save only the marked picture, which is no file, by drop into a folder. To do this, the "metadata" of the image would have to be converted to PNG or JPG...and get a filename. The normal way is...save the image over context menu. I want it over Drag without temporary file.

Outlook -> MyApplication

 

Thanks...

I suggest you install the components and run the Source Analyzer example. Then you can see exactly what information an Outlook drop contains. I would be very surprised if Outlook didn't offer the image as a file with a name (real or synthesized).
