Drag and drop issue

Message Topic Search Topic Options Post Reply Create New Topic Printable Version Translate Topic

   Hi there

I have a report control placed inside a dialog. I would like to be able to drag an arbitrary file from Windows explorer into the control, and let the drop handling code decide if the filename can be added to the report control.

I've called "EnableDragDrop(_T("TestDragDrop"), xtpReportAllowDrop) on the report control from within the parent dialog, and I've mapped XTP_NM_REPORT_DROP to a function within the parent dialog. "TestDragDrop" hasn't been registered as a CLIPFORMAT in my app's InitInstance, but in the ReportSample it isn't either.

However, when I try and drag a file to the control, the mouse pointer just becomes a circle with a line through it, indicating dropping files into the control isn't allowed.

If someone could help me with what I might be doing wrong I'd appreciate it.
