Not able to drop any file in .net sample

[andrewflierman]

Running the .net sample on windows 8.1 and VS2013 (Update 1). It won't allow me to drop?

Tried on VS 2013 Professional on Windows 8.1 Pro - works as expected. Could you please provide more details on what exactly doesn't work?

When running the GUITest project I'm not allowed to drop any file onto the ListView 'activeTasklist': the mouse pointer changed to a forbidden icon.

Tried to make a screenshot for you, but somehow the forbidden icon is not showing on the screenshot :/

Does it help if you bind the drop handler in runtime explicitly (add the following code after InitializeComponent() call inside Window1() constructor)?

activeTaskList.AllowDrop = true;
activeTaskList.Drop += activeTaskList_Drop;

[andrewflierman]

Unfortunately it does not help

Well, looks like this is some weird problem with how UI works in Windows 8. This is not reproduced in Windows 7 or Windows 8.1 Could you perhaps try the console sample https://github.com/abbyysdk/ocrsdk.com/tree/master/dotNet/ConsoleTest instead?

[andrewflierman]

Will try the console application instead.
Thanks for your help.

For the record I'm on Windows 8.1.

Not working on windows 7 also

@bkalaldeh: Works just fine for me. More details such as exact version of Windows, exact version of Visual Studio, any other settings different from default ones would be useful in finding the problem cause.

Running the .net sample on windows 10 and VS2012 (Update 5). It won't allow me to drop?

@Rajeevk25 Is Visual Studio running "as administrator"?
