Drag and Drop onto Word invokes Page Setup

[Evan Stone]

Hello,

I have a C#.NET application that I'm working on that uses Drag-and-Drop onto
a Word document, but occasionally when I drag a string of text onto Word,
the Page Setup dialog appears for some strange reason.

Has anyone heard of this odd behavior, and is there a way to make sure it
doesn't happen? I know this one is pretty "out there" but it's been baffling
me for some time now.

Thanks!

Hi Evan,

New one for me...

The only thing that occurs to me is, that Word will show this dialog box if
you double-click around the edges of a document, or in the ruler. Perhaps the
mouse (driver) is doing something like that when it passes over these areas?

Perhaps it depends exactly where he drops it?

Perhaps it depends exactly where he drops it?

I experimented a little with this - trying to drop it in different
locations, but was not able to reproduce it (of course).

So I'll try to keep track of what-I'm-dragging-where and see if I can make
sense of it. In the meantime if you think of anything let me know...

Thanks!
