Method

RectControl.AcceptFileDrop(FileType as String)

Supported for all project types and targets.

Permits documents of type FileType to be dropped on the control. FileType must be a file type that you defined in via the FileType class or the File Type Sets Editor.

Sample Code

Me.AcceptPictureDrop
Me.AcceptFileDrop("image/jpeg")
