Drag & drop from filesite

shahbm

Hi There,

we have a requirement to drag and drop a document from filesite/desksite into our application (textbox) and store the information from that document into our database...

with Desksite, there is no issue, we can drag a dms document and we get the .nrl file with all the relevant information.

But with Filesite, we do not get any information/nrl file when we drop a dms document into our app textbox..

Could u pls let us know which control should we use to drag & drop filesite document to get (database, docid, version, description and type) of the document.

Regards,

Bhavin

Do you have any control over the textbox? Is it your application/code or third party?

If I write a simple test application that has one textbox with 'AllowDrop' set to true, then the DragEnter tells me that I can accept Copy, Move or Link commands. If I then in the DragOver specify I like to receive a Link, I get a proper drag / drop Data object with all sorts of formats, including what you need (I would recommend the UnicodeText to be future proof):
