Capture DragDrop Event of RichTextBox C#

Question

I have a custom RichTextBox Control derived from RichTextBox Control that Windows provides.

I am unable to capture the dragDrop Event though the DragEnter event is getting captured, but I dont know why the dragDrop event is not.

I have following properties set as true

EnableAutoDragDrop=true; AllowDrop=true;

What am I missing ??

Answer 1

Just a guess - maybe you missed to correctly set the drag'n'drop effect.

Answer 2

Daniel is probably correct here:

    private void DragOver(object sender, System.Windows.Forms.DragEventArgs e) 
    {
        if (!e.Data.GetDataPresent(typeof(System.String))) {

            e.Effect = DragDropEffects.None;
            DropLocationLabel.Text = "None - no string data.";
            return;
        }

see also the example in:

Answer 3

You need DragDrop and DragOver in your RichTextBox.

Set EnableAutoDragDrop=false or your user will have 2 entries(1 duplicate) rather than just one entry. Eg. user picks"cat5" and when dropped in RichTextBox "cat5" appears twice.

Answer 4

i think the question is richtextbox may not accept the object which you drag.
