Topic: DropRecordsEx stops firing

Win 7, C#, v15 of CJ ActiveX controls.

I have 2 ReportControls on a WinForm that are setup to drag a record from #1 to #2. Both report controls have 3 columns.

I'm using DragOverRecords() and DropRecordsEx(). It works fine as long as I don't click on one of the column headers to sort. I can also get it to 'not work' from the beginning if I set the target report control .SortOrder property.

It seems like sorting or allowing sort of a column is disabling the DropRecordEx event.

I still get DragOverRecords events but the DropRecordsEx event will not fire.

Help?? You can respond to my email below. I'll check back here as well.

Thanks!

Found the 'problem'. I needed to set '.SortedDragDrop' to true.

The documentation on this property poor (as in blank!), please add SOMETHING to explain it.

However I still need to know what effect setting .SortedDragDrop = true vs. the default (False) has on report controls if anything.

I have a generic call to set Paint properties on all report controls in the product regardless if they support Drag/Drop. I could add .SortedDragDrop=true there and not have to fix each report control instance.

However if setting .SortedDragDrop=true changes the behavior of a report control I can't risk that simple fix.

Please tell what behavior setting .SortDragDrop=true has on a report control. If it only 'allows' DropRecordsEx() to drop on a report control that has column sorting to work but doesn't affect any other behavior I'm ok.

Thanks!
