Drag & drop to path control has stopped working ?

[NeilR]

Bit of an odd one this. I've used the drag/drop to a path control many times before without a problem but I'm finding that I can't drag into a path control, but only on one of the two PCs I'm working on ?

I've got a path control in a VI, nothing else. The VI isn't running and I can't drop a path from explorer onto it. Exactly the same situation on the other PC (also running LV2017 under Win10) works fine. And yes ... Allow Dropping is enabled in both cases. 🙂

Any ideas ? Is there a global drag/drop setting somewhere or maybe it's a Windows setting ? Thanks.

Drop doesn't work in 2 situations:

1. Path ctrl is a strict typedef;

2. Run LabVIEW as an admin.

Are you trying to drop a file's path when it is set to folders only? I haven't confirmed what happens in this case...

Thanks for the replies.

In answer to your suggestions ... no, the path control isn't strict typedef ... just straight off the Modern > String & Path palette.

LV is not running in Admin mode.

The Selection Mode is just as it comes off the palette ... Files and Existing.

Interestingly, I find I can drag and drop files from the Files tab within the LV project into a path control ok ..?
