Using MSComctlLib.DataObject to retrieve email contents

[bradyboyy88]

Hi,

I have a drag and drop feature using a listview on my userform. I am trying to drag and drop emails from outlook to my excel userform. I am not very familiar with the MSComctlLib.DataObject type and its actually a bit more complicated as I thought. I am wondering if someone could point me in the right direction for how to use this to capture outlook email contents. I am trying to get the email contents, receive date, contacts, etc. I am familiar with mailitem object which can pull all of this information with functions but I do not know how MSComctlLib.DataObject relates to mailitem.

So far here is my code:

Private Sub LvDropEmaileHere_OLEDragDrop(Data As MSComctlLib.DataObject, Effect As Long, Button As Integer, Shift As Integer, x As Single, y As Single)
    MsgBox "test" 'This works
    
End Sub

Hey RoryA!

I was not getting a reply in that one so I figured i would start a new subject being more direct about the object type i am trying to use to see if it yields better results/replies. However, I see you just replied in there so much appreciated.

OK, I'll close this one then.
