Hi,

I have a need to be able to drag a file from Windows Explorer onto an AcuConnect Thin Client screen - either dragged onto the screen or dragged into a receiving control (perhaps the rich-text-box).  The file being dragged could be anything file type including PDF, JPG, DOC, XLS - anything.  I then want to store that file on the host (Linux) server.

I've done some work with the RTB control, and have a program that will receive a dropped file into a RTB control on my program's screen.  But I can't work out how to then save the file.

Do you have some advice for me please?

Thanks,

Ian

C$COPY works with thin client to allow you to take files from the PC to the server.

CALL "C$COPY" USING SOURCE-FILE DEST-FILE GIVING STATUS-CODE

Thanks, I'm familiar with C$COPY and am already using it with the C$OPENSAVEBOX dialogue box to transfer files using the "@[DISPLAY]:" method.  What the user wants to be able to do though is drag-and-drop a file onto the window or a receiving area that I create for it.

I believe you will need to use the Windows API to make instances of  Windows Explorer to be able to drag a file from one Windows Explorer to another or p[erhaps an ActiveX control like www.teebo.com/tssFileDragDrop.htm

and then capture where the file was moved to and copy that back to the server. I do not believe any of the common controls we provide are capable of doing this type of function.

Hello Ian,

we want to give the user the possibility to drag a file and let it drop in our program.

Do you have the solution to get the path of that file for further processing ?

Thanks in advance.

Hi,

Sorry, no.  I don't have an answer yet, but I've not fully explored shjerpe's suggestions above.  You might find the answer for us both there!  My priorities have changed, and the customer isn't so interested in this at the moment.

Cheers,

Ian
