What is the best approach to use when attempting to allow a user to store a file within a field? Drag and Drop to/from a blob field on the form (similar to how Access does it with OLE) would be ideal.
When will Drag and Drop functionality be available (release and time frame)?
Thanks much
drag and drop in fields is supported for text, java in general does not support all drag and drop types on all platforms, but if you make the field editable there is a context menu on the field to load a file in the field.
Or you could use a javascript to load the file and assign that like this:
var filedata = application.readFile();
imagefield = filedata;//assuming your field is called ‘imagefield’
Drop of files in a media field is supported in next build
Now that you mention it, how do you enable text drag and drop?
Oops, disregard, saw the answer in another thread… next release.
Text drag and drop between fields already works in Servoy, we have just added file drop (from explorer on windows for example) on the media field
