Q: Standalone with drag and drop works on one Windows machine but not two others… why?
Q: Standalone with drag and drop works on one Windows machine but not two others… why? The code is like this: on dragEnter set the allowabledragactions to "copy,link" set the dragAction to "copy" set the hilite of me to true end dragEnter on dragDrop if the dragdata["files"] is not empty then put the dragdata["files"] into gDroppedData DoMyStuff end dragDrop This code works fine on my Macs, and fine on a laptop running Windows 7; but on another Windows 7 laptop, and yet another running Windows 8, the stop sign cursor appears when I drag a folder to the button. The desktop behavior shows the drag being interpreted, with the cursor changing to the "Copy" icon, but when it gets to my app's window it's a stop sign. Yet, on the other Windows 7 machine it's perfect. It's more annoying that it works on one Windows than if it worked on none! Thanks for any help.

Re: Q: Standalone with drag and drop works on one Windows machine but not two others… why?
Thanks for responding Trevor. Restarting doesn’t help. On the one Win7 laptop it’s perfect, just like the Macs. On another Win7 laptop, and on a Win8 desktop, the cursor indicates the “no-drop-allowed” condition. On those machines I can see the cursor respond correctly, changing to “Copy” within the desktop; but not when it reaches my app. The fact that it works on the one laptop makes me think there’s some Windows setting that’s different. One thing I have yet to try is compiling the standalone on Windows; but I’m hoping to find something that maintains “cross-platform consistency”. Thanks, Joe F.

Re: Q: Standalone with drag and drop works on one Windows machine but not two others… why?
Thanks for the input but no solution yet. The user has admin privileges and the app can create and write new files to its default folder with no problem. Escape key doesn’t seem to make a difference, but what is it supposed to do anyway? Maybe there’s something there. For whatever reason, it works perfectly on my Win7 test machine, but not on the other two. Maybe they don’t have the right Trojans installed? The only major difference that comes to mind is that I have Livecode installed on the test machine. I figure, if they can drag and drop on the desktop, they should be able to drag to my Livecode app. Is there some way of associating files as “openable” by certain apps? Thanks for trying to help.
