Drag & Drop - RadBrowseEditor

[Samantha]

Is it possible to drag and drop a document to this control, instead of having to navigate to the document?  I have changed the "Allow Drop" property to true, but nothing changed.

Hello Samantha,

Thank you for your contacting Telerik Support.

In order to achieve drag and drop functionality of RadBrowseEditor, please, have a look at the following code snippet:

public partial class Form1 : Form
{
    string draggedFileName = string.Empty;

    public Form1()
    {
        InitializeComponent();

        this.radBrowseEditor1.AllowDrop = true;
        this.radBrowseEditor1.DragEnter += radBrowseEditor1_DragEnter;
        this.radBrowseEditor1.DragDrop+=radBrowseEditor1_DragDrop;
    }

    private void radBrowseEditor1_DragDrop(object sender, DragEventArgs e)
    {
        if (e.Effect== DragDropEffects.Move)
        {
            this.radBrowseEditor1.Value = draggedFileName;
            e.Effect = DragDropEffects.None;
        }
    }

    private void radBrowseEditor1_DragEnter(object sender, DragEventArgs e)
    {
        Array data = ((IDataObject)e.Data).GetData("FileName") as Array;
        if (data != null)
        {
            if ((data.Length == 1) && (data.GetValue(0) is String))
            {
                string filename = ((string[])data)[0];
                string[] files = (string[])e.Data.GetData(DataFormats.FileDrop);
                string ext = Path.GetExtension(filename).ToLower();
                if ((ext == ".doc") || (ext == ".docx"))
                    // here you can restrict allowed files for drag & drop operation
                {
                    e.Effect = DragDropEffects.Move;
                    draggedFileName = files[0];
                }
            }
        }
    }
}

Please, find the attached video (drag and drop over the browser to play), demonstrating the implemented behaviour.

I hope this information helps. Should you have further questions, I would be glad to help.
