Strange behaviour using Drag and Drop in word 2003 automation in headers
- by Oliver Hanappi
Hi!
I am developing a template based addin for Word 2003 which allows the user to drag and drop elements from a listbox into the word document. Unfortunately I'm getting a really strange behaviour when trying to drop elements in the document's header.
Open the template and type something in the header
Close the header and insert some content on the page
Add a page break.
Switch to page layout mode where and set zoom level to "Two Pages"
Open the header
Slowly Drag and Drop an list item from the list box to the header.
See multiple Page Setups dialogs occur which cause Word to crash.
Here is my code:
// in ThisDocument.cs
public MyUserControl _control;
public void Init()
{
_control = new MyUserControl();
ActionsPane.Controls.Add(_control);
ActionsPane.Visible = true;
}
// in MyUserControl.cs
public void listBox1_MouseDown(object sender, MouseEventArgs e)
{
DoDragDrop("something", DragDropEffects.Copy);
}
Have I done somethinkg wrong with implementing Drag and Drop? Is there a workaround for this strange behaviour?
Thanks in advance,
Oliver Hanappi
