drag and drop not working 2012 and Win 7

[Norbert_B]

Florian and Paul,

i tested several combinations now with bitness and languages (english and german) but i cannot reproduce the issue.

What language are you running for Windows and LV?

Norbert

Hi.

I run the german versions of both LV and Win7.

Regards Florian

[Norbert_B]

Odd, that combination works well here even with LV 2011 SP1 installed in parallel.....

But for testing, you might try to change e.g. regional settings.

Is the Windows a standard edition or is it modified by the companies IT department?

Norbert

Thanks for the tip. I'll try that once I feel save (have to release sth. next week).

Windows is a standard edition.

Regards Florian

Another thing which comes to mind:

What happens if you reset the LabVIEW.ini?

I have two development systems with this same behavior. One is running a "corporate" version of Windows 7 Enterprise and the other is running a generic Windows 7 pro.

I also tried resetting the LV.ini file. No effect.

[PaulG.]

If this means anything, I have been getting a windows popup that says "There was a problem sending the command to the program" when I try to open a program in LV2012. No explanation. Otherwis LV is running fine on both machines. This behavior just started as well. It could very well have started the same time I started seeing the drag and drop bug.

Florian and Paul,

do you have any specific toolkits/modules or non-NI components installed to LV?

What package of LV are you using (Base/Full/Pro)?

I have seen OS behavior where drag and drop does not work if an application is run with administrator privileges.

This fixed my drag and drop problem but creates another. I need admin privileges to write Excel files.

This is a bug.
