debug message

D10.2.3 window 7

I have had this problem for many years I wonder if there is a solution

The program does not break on message in the IDE

However, running the execution it works.

P.S I see the + sign on the form when dragging a file wile in the IDE

      Drag and Drop do not work either

 

I saw David Heffernan solution, but it did not help.

https://stackoverflow.com/questions/14244325/drag-and-drop-files-to-delphi-form-not-working

 

Any help?

 

.

unit Unit1;

interface

  Winapi.Windows, Winapi.Messages, System.SysUtils, System.Variants,
    System.Classes, Vcl.Graphics,
  Vcl.Controls, Vcl.Forms, Vcl.Dialogs, Vcl.ExtCtrls, ProCtrls, Vcl.StdCtrls;

    procedure FormCreate(Sender: TObject);

  MessageDlg('dssdfsd', mtWarning, [mbOK], 0);<<<<<<<<<<<<  does not break
end;

procedure TForm1.FormDestroy(Sender: TObject);
begin
  DragAcceptFiles(Self.Handle, False);
  inherited;
end;

procedure TForm1.FormCreate(Sender: TObject);
begin
inherited;
  DragAcceptFiles(Self.Handle, True);
end;
end.

Delphi forms tend to recreate their window handle at the drop of a hat. So move the DragAcceptFiles calls from the events to overridden CreateWnd and DestroyWnd methods, that makes sure the handle changes are properly handled.

There is code for exactly that in David's answer on the StackOverflow post you linked to.

If you are running your app (or the IDE) with elevated rights, then you also need to call ChangeWindowMessageFilter/Ex() to allow lesser-privileged processes, like File Explorer, to send WM_DROPFILES messages to your app.

The Drag and Drop Component Suite contains a demo application that can be used to diagnose a drop target (there's one for drop sources too, fwiw). You could use that to determine the exact interaction between the drop source and target. There is also a demo of WM_DROPFILES, including the handling of ChangeWindowMessageFilter*.

 

The screenshot below shows the Drop Target Analyzer dropping CF_HDROP data (i.e. a file) onto the WM_DROPFILES demo, which is running elevated.

@Anders MelanderI am I to drop a file onto the main pan?

In my ide it does not work. it has an impossible sign.

[limelect 48]

@Remy Lebeau @Anders Melander as i said on my D10.2.3  IDE nothing works as for drop

As for my basic demo, I did exactly the suggestion no !!!! breakpoint in ide

how ever message works with exe

as for the analyzer I cannot drop either in ide or exe

 

I doubt that I can be helped. it has something to do with

my d10.2.3 and my Windows 7 system I guess.

 

One more option is that a component I install does the problem

But since I have large amount it is impossible to find which.

OR an expert?

 

Thanks

What events does the analyzer show?

Hmm. The D&D suite disables the Delphi IDE as a drop target during debugging to avoid the deadlock that would occur if the application being debugged was the drop source and the IDE the drop target.

You can try to uninstall the D&D suite design time package to see if that is the cause.

P.S i tried my test shown above in release

It did not help

[limelect 48]

I disabled D&d it did not help

I know my problem is someplace in the IDE

[limelect 48]

I do not know if this help

The problem of drag and drop (I did not check for messages)

Persist with D7 too.

Drage and Drop does not work on D7 either.

Only outside of Delphi.

So it is Windows 7 ported to ANY Delphi.

Any idea how to check this?

Are you asking if any version of Delphi supports Windows 7?

[limelect 48]

No they all work with this Windows 7. With no problems

All I say is that Drag and Drop does not work under

above conditions in the IDE.

Neither the message problem work on D7

which mean that there is a System problem interacted with  Delphi IDE

Okay. Can't help you, sorry.

[limelect 48]

Thanks I know I have a huge problem here
