Richtextbox with Drag and Drop

[daniel kusnir]

Hello

do you know how is it possible to wire drag& Drop with Richtextbox ?

According MS doc, https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet ... l#see-also
its needed to add DragEnter and DragDrop event + set AllowDrop = True. However this does not work for me, even if i added DragOver event as well. It seems like the form does not detect events when added to code just like that

so at the beginning, i added allowdrop to the load

Code: [Select all] [Expand/Collapse]

1. $formDragDropFiles_Load = { $richtextbox1.AllowDrop = $true }

Then, i created 3 events ( because 2 isnt just enought )

Code: [Select all] [Expand/Collapse]

1. $richTextBox1_DragDrop = [System.Windows.Forms.DragEventHandler]{
2.  
3.     #Event Argument: $_ = [System.Windows.Forms.DragEventArgs]
4.  
5.     #Process the dropped files
6.  
7.     $files = $_.Data.GetData([System.Windows.Forms.DataFormats]::FileDrop)
8.  
9.     if ($files)
10.  
11.     {
12.  
13.        foreach ($file in $files)
14.  
15.        { $richTextBox1.Text = Get-Content $file }
16.  
17.     }
18.  
19. }
20.  
21.  
22.  
23. $richTextBox1_DragOver = [System.Windows.Forms.DragEventHandler]{
24.  
25.     #Event Argument: $_ = [System.Windows.Forms.DragEventArgs]
26.  
27.     if ($_.Data.GetDataPresent([Windows.Forms.DataFormats]::FileDrop)){
28.  
29.         $_.Effect = 'Copy' }
30.  
31.     else{
32.  
33.         $_.Effect = 'None' }
34.  
35. }
36.  
37.  
38.  
39. $richTextBox1_DragEnter = [System.Windows.Forms.DragEventHandler]{
40.  
41.     if ($_.Data.GetDataPresent([windows.forms.dataformats]::Text)){
42.  
43.         $_.Effect = 'Copy' }
44.  
45.     else{
46.  
47.         $_.Effect = 'None' }
48.  
49. }
