Drag and drop file from external program to XBAP

[Chris]

Hi,

    After I upgraded to version 2013.3.1204.45, I am no longer able to drag and drop external files to the GridView on my XBAP application.

   Before the upgraded, I used the "RadDragAndDropManager.EnableNativeDrag = True " to allow drag and drop to my XBAP application and it worked very well. 

   With this new DragAndDropManager, what is the setting I have to set so I can have the drag and drop from extenernal program?
    
Thanks,
Chris

Update: It seems working on Windows XP + IE 8 but DON'T work on Window 7 (x64) + IE 10

Hello Chris,

I can see that you have taken the approach with the RadDragAndDropManager.  We are planning on removing it from our libraries with the Q2 2014 version, which is why I strongly recommend considering on migrating to our new mechanism - DragDropManager.  Please note that after Q2 2014, any code still running with RadDragAndDropManager will prevent you from upgrading. 

I am sending you a sample project demonstrating dragging from and to external programs. It is using the new DragDropManager and our RadGridView control.

I hope this helps.

Thanks Yoan.

Your example help a lot and I did make the DradDropManager working files drop from external programs.

I have another question, when I drag a external file over or about to drop to GridViewRow, for example, how can I get the position or set message along the drag (like feedback on the dragging operation, for example, 'Not Allow')?

Thanks,
Chris

Hi Chris,

I can suggest you to check the Drag and Drop within RadGridView help article. There you can find information about how to define the drop indication details.
