Xojos' own drag and drop example not working

[Tim_Hare]

Did one have the semicolon and the other not?

That is indeed the only difference. I checked what FileTypes1.Any was returning on both machines and that was the only difference.

Oops! I did test the code I posted, but I did not remove the filetypeset. I put in the filetypeset first and when that worked, I wanted to simplify it for you, so I changed it to the raw text. I assumed it would work with just the text, but as you found out, it didn’t. It worked for me, but only because the filetypeset was still in the project.

The text “special/any” without semicolon and without the filetypeset worked fine when I tested it with Windows 8.1. Apparently Windows is kind of finicky and the FileTypeTest is required. Although all what FileTypeSet does is provide the string…

Windows [quote]finicky[/quote] - Never!!! ( hint of friendly sarcasm )

For the record I used Win 7 Pro 32bit, with file typeset and “special/any;” - which worked.

I will locate other variants of the OS and run your suggestions to confirm - will place anything I find here.
