Drop on an app run as admin

[Jean-Luc Arnaud]

Hi all,

When my app is run as Admin (that is, with elevated privileges) or
debugged in the IDE or in Remote Debugger Desktop themselves run as
admin, no drop is no longer available.

I tried MBS class WindowsDropTargetMBS, unsuccessfully.

Am I wrong somewhere? If not, what's the solution?

TIA

If your application is running with elevated privileges, both Windows and Mac OS prevent it from interacting with the normal user's desktop. This means that drag and drove and sometimes even copy and paste are disabled. This is why your app should always run as the user and your helpers should run with elevated permissions.

BRU ... Because it's the RESTORE that matters

Thanks for your reply and your explanation, Tim.

So, no workaround except using helpers?
