Open Upload Dialog when Drag&Drop is used to add files?

[Carlos]

Is there a way to open the upload dialog when a user drags and drops files, so that they can keep track of the files being uploaded and their status?

Hello, Carlos,

The upload dialog can be opened by using the execute method as demonstrated in this Dojo example. 

If I misunderstood the question, please provide some additional details about the desired result.

Hi Martin,

I guess the real question is if there is a way to programmatically pass in the dragged files to the upload dialog?  I would like to open the upload dialog when a user drags some files from their desktop onto the filemanager.  Right now if a user drags files onto the filemanager, it does not provide much feedback in terms of the upload progress of the files and it's easy for a user to think that all the files have completed uploading and move away from the page.

 

Thanks,

Carlos

Hi Carlos,

Currently, the FileManager's API has no method or configuration option that allows changing its behavior to the one you described. If you want to see such functionality implemented in the future, consider logging a feature request in our Feedback Portal: https://feedback.telerik.com/aspnet-mvc

Highly demanded features often get approved and implemented in subsequent releases.
