this is probably totally pie in the sky...
is there any way in pxplus that i can drop a file on to something say like from Email Outlook on to a control and get access to that file in some way.
what i'm trying to do is associate a pdf with an invoice or quote.
Use the DROP FILE directive.
See External File Droping in https://manual.pvxplus.com/page/directives/drop_on.htm
thank you Mike - i will give it a try.
If you want to drop files from Outlook attachments they first have to be dropped into physical files in a directory.
What I have done in the past is create temporary directories where I have the user drag whatever they want. I display the temp directory using the windows File.Explorer Com object. It will accept just anything and convert them to files. Simply create a dummy directory then point the file.explorer Com object to it.
Hi Mike - thank you. this worked for me.
I know this is an old post, but perhaps you can help... Is the external file dragging suppose to work in a WindX environment?
It works just fine when ran locally, but it's not generating an event under WindX for some reason. Am I missing something?
