DragEnter Does Not Fire?

[Leon_Amirreza]

I have a DataGridView on the form with AllowDrop = true when I drag a file
from windows Explorer on DataGridView Mouse Pointer becomes a No Icon And
DragEnter Does not Fire!

It fires when I Initiate a Drag Drop from within the C# Application!

What Should I do?

Leon,

Can you show us the documentation where is written that you can drag a file
to a to DataGridView (or do you mean an image)?

Sorry I dont Get it?
I thought the DragEnter Should get Fired every time I dragged over it no
matter what I drag!?

If no, What should I do then, to get the names of files dragged into my
application from Windows Explorer?

For sure not use a DataGridView as that is mainly intended for a Database.

A listview like in explorer itself will in my ide be definitly a better
choise.

Still Problem ramains:
The ListView DragEnter Does not Fire!?
What Should I do?

 

[Cor Ligthert[MVP]]

There are samples on Internet how to drag from Explorer to the Listview, in
fact it is the same control

 

[Leon_Amirreza]

I have seen many drag drop examples that use DragEnter and its event
argument BUT within the same application!
I havent seen any that uses drag from another App into your .Net App!

could you possibly give an example URL!

Are you setting AllowDrop=true? Once that is set, using:
e.Effect= DragDropEffects.Copy

in DragEneter handler should work
