Drag image from CEP extension and Drop into text frame not working.

Hi everyone,

I am trying to drag drop image from CEP extension. For data transfer from CEP to cpp plugin I am using kTEXTExternalFlavor, with this approach I am able to get the image info and place it into Graphic frame in my custom CustomDragDropTargetFlavorHelper class.

But when I drag the image into text frame, ProcessDragDropCommand method is not executed, even if i return DragDrop::kDropWillCopy in CouldAcceptTypes method. Please suggest me , Is there anything else needs to be done?

Thanks ,

Yogita.

When I wrote a drag from browser to InDesign, I had especially hard times with https URLs when the dragged image was wrapped into an <a href>. The culprit was something with Netscape in its name, e.g. kSysFileDataExchHandlerNetscapeHelperBoss is still around. Back then I used a bogus http link instead that I translated on the fly from the drop target (helper) side to perform the download on my own (curl). That code was last touched with CS5, though.

Hi Lohrii!

I run into the same problem: I have a text frame in the background and an image frame in front. When I drag an image from a browser, the text frame is always used as the target. The function
ProcessDragDropCommand for the GraphicFrame is no longer executed. Without text frame in the background it works. Is ther any way ro work around this problem?

Thanks in advance,

Paul 🙂
