I've implemented Drag and Drop in my application that works well within the application... I can Move, Copy & Link fine. But I've discovered an issue when I run the application on a different computer.
I've implemented Drag and Drop within the same form, to other instances of the form and to external applications (using DataObject with a Text format and the internal format).
When I run my application on the development machine it all works fine and as expected.
When I run mu application on another computer at home (OS = Win7) it all works fine too.
When I run my application at work I can not drag and drop to an external application (the same text editor I was using at home).
Both using the same OS (XP)?? Has anyone bumped into this issue before and is there anything I can do about it? I assume it's not the code as the code works at home on various computers????
Interestingly, I use the same DataObject to put onto the ClipBoard which works as expected.
Edit:
Also, I wrote this little programme that reports on objects that are Dropped onto it... and it works OK at work? But the Text Editor (PSPad) doesn't...
Hmmm.... just discovered that FireFox and Chrome do work... I thought that the system Drag & Drop would have been "standard" and not flaky like this... ideas anyone??
