Hi,

I have configured the control as specified in the document. But still I am not able to drag and drop the files into it. It is doing nothing when I drag and drop the files into its canvas.

Anything I am missing?

Hi,

Has there been any resolution to the 4.6.9 issue raised in the first post above?  This control worked very well under 4.6.8 but since I have upgraded to 4.6.9 using the latest version the control does not do anything when a document is dragged onto the canvas.  Any help is appreciated as this control is just what was needed.

Thanks,

Kirk

Hi All,

Realised that there is an issue with the control's "FullName", which should be "DragAndDropControl.DragAndDropFile.Control, DragAndDropControl" in "DragAndDropFile_Definition.xml". I've updated the package, but will need to wait for Lance to come back from leave to upload it here. Meanwhile, you can follow these steps to get things working:

1. If you have not added the control into any Views, you should remove the control from the system using the following command:

  "C:Program Files (x86)K2 blackpearlBincontrolutil.exe" deregister -control:DragAndDropFile

  The console app should reply that the control has been successfully removed. If you encounter errors specifying that the control is in use, look at point 2.

  After removing the control, update the source package's XML file (as stated above) and re-compile it and deploy.

2. If the control is already in use, start you SQL management studio, go to "K2" database > "Form.ControlTypeImplementation". Look for the DragAndDropControl record under the "FullName" column. Update it to ""DragAndDropControl.DragAndDropFile.Control, DragAndDropControl"

For both methods above, you will need to run IISReset to kick in the changes.

The current version of the control has been tested in 4.6.9 and 4.6.10.

Thank you.

Ji Kai.

If you are interested, the latest source code is always available here.

v1.3 - 20 July 2015
==================
- Built and tested on 4.6.10.
- Added feature to check on maximum file size before uploading to server. Note that the value is in bytes.
- Added feature to restrict file extensions that can be uploaded. Note that when the field is empty, the control allows everything. Multipe file extensions can be added and separated by ';'. e.g. txt;pdf;doc;docx
- Added read-only state for the control User can download, but cannot remove or upload new file.
- fixed disabled state. The control does not allow user to replace the file when the control is in disabled state now.
- Added feature to remove the dotted-border around the control.

Hello,

thank you very much for this custom control, it works fine and is also functional and usable in list views! However I would like to ask you for a small tuning if possible:)

1. Small red cross (inteded to clear the control of data) is visible only just after you dragged new file to this control. Would it be possible to have the small cross visible all the time the control is active and not in read-only or disabled state?

2. Would it be possible to add possibility to use d&d for attachements from Outlook?

Thank you in advance for your feedback and best regards!

Michal

I don't know what am I missing but it doesn't work for 4.6.11

please let me know if someone get it fully work for the latest versions 

thx

I changed the SourceCode.Forms DLL in the project solution with the one from my K2 bin folder

I was able to compile and register the control but it works only in Designer/Runtime not in Runtime/Runtime

any ideas please ?

We just upgraded to 4.7 and this control no longer works. When I used the debugger the error occured during the FileHandler.ashx step with the error:

The file could not be uploaded. Unforseen error occured on the file upload, contact your administrator.

Any ideas on why that is? The POST string is identical to what was sent by the generic file attachment control.  

I was able to figure out the issue. To make this control work with 4.7, you simply need to change the line:

data: data to data: file

in the snippet below from DragAndDropFile_Script.js 

$.ajax(
        {
            context: this,
            type: 'POST',
            url: '/Runtime/Utilities/FileHandler.ashx?fn=' + this._fileName + '&' + (new Date()).getTime(),
            cache: false,
            data: file,
            contentType: false,
            processData: false,
            async: true
        })

Register the control using controlutil.exe and restart IIS

Hi,

Has anyone been able to modify this control to allow multiple file upload?

@simonatbnp -  you have to add for loop in the uploadfile: function(datatransfer) method

uploadFile: function (dataTransfer)

var filecollection = dataTransfer.files;
var file;
for(i = 0; i < filecollection.length; i++)

file = filecollection;
